De deadline
Example: De deadline voor het project is volgende week vrijdag.
Definition
"Deadline" refers to the latest time or date by which a task or project must be completed or submitted, often used in HR to manage schedules and ensure timely completion of work assignments.
Etymology
The word "deadline" originates from the combination of 'dead' and 'line,' first used in the 19th century in printing and later adopted in business and project management. Did you know? The term was initially related to a boundary that, if crossed, meant serious consequences, which fits well with its strict time limit meaning today.
