Don't say I wouldn't have done it this way
- lioeters 7y agoThe article has good advice: to not dwell on criticizing the existing implementation, and to focus on the practicalities of what needs to be improved, what you can do to push that forward. In my younger years, I've certainly been guilty of telling a client how terrible a job the previous person in my position did. I'm sure I've been on the receiving end of it too. It may have been true, but over time I learned that it doesn't matter. As the article points out, people on the business side don't care how badly the work was done, they want to know what you're going to do about it, to improve quality, efficiency, business value.
