Yep, that happens here too.  The "project manager" often doesn't know enough 
about the details of the project, and will agree things with their boss and 
our customers without even consulting the people underneath.  Then we get 
all sorts of problems later, both due to lack of time and struggling to meet 
the agreed performance.  Does get people to work hard though mind you ;-)
