If it seems like a deadline will not be met, which of the following should you do?

If you think you will miss a deadline, communicate with the person who assigned the work as soon as possible. Explain when you realistically can finish and suggest changes—such as adjusting the scope or priorities—that could help you meet the deadline. Ignoring other tasks or waiting until after you miss the deadline does not give your supervisor a chance to help address the problem.
