Yes.
Writers vary but some find that submitting a work in progress to a group causes them to be continually revising the opening and not finishing. Also, you might finish your first draft, realize you seriously need to revise the opening to change a character, and complete a second draft without any input. Then you can't get a first impression from the group because they've seen it already, and their impressions are colored by the first draft.
However, you don't want to wait to get second opinions until you are thoroughly sick of the work, because you might lack the energy to implement their suggestions.
