Of course this is how it would be in a perfect world. We don't live there. Managing expectations is certainly important, but it is nowhere near as easy, efficient, or effective as you seem to believe.
It's just one small part of a very large and complex picture full of things that never quite happen the way they should, mostly because what programmers like us expect to do does not line up with what our clients want or, more accurately, how they perceive what they want.
- rhizome 14y agoThe "I need it yesterday" attitude is unreasonable by definition. mostly because what programmers like us expect to do does not line up with what our clients want or, more accurately, how they perceive what they want. This is exactly the problem that expectations management solves, but it requires actually saying the words.
