How about this. Under promise and over deliver. My customers seem to like it. OTOH, when I over promise and under deliver, they seem upset.
Don't promise something you cannot or are not sure of delivering. Aim wherever you please but if you cannot deliver, don't promise. Assure me you are working towards a solution if you must. Don't promise me a solution by 1500 hrs when you are not sure of delivering it.
There is a difference between
I will achieve X by 1500 hrs
I will attempt to achieve X by 1500 but it might not work out that way.
