crunched

English to Portuguese Tech/Engineering Management Project Management
If the work is distributed properly, the entire team is never equally crunched, with different roles carrying more of the burden at different times.)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Part of an interview about a show:
Well, you hear every other department on a show talking about how they're struggling to meet their deadlines so it's only natural that you guys are equally crunched.

Another example:
But while women were just as pressed for time whether they were married or single, among men husbands felt more time-crunched than single men.
