[Sigia-l] love thy client (was Re: [Sigia-l] "Study: Content Management Tools Fail")

As others have said.. it all depends on the organisations maturity, on the
reasons why the project exists (! not everything is for profit), and a great
great deal on the project manager's ability to cope with internal and
external pressures.. Sometimes one needs to see how one can help other team
members who may not have control over "decisions then don't get overridden
by stakeholders who didn't come to the meeting", number of iterations etc..

Prototyping early...hmmmm...I dream of project plans

- that allow time for prototyping repetively
- Where I account for iteration and the client actually believes me when I
say it is neccessary
- Where the time allocated for testing is not taken up by fixing bugs and
feature creep
- Where internal client decisions happen in under a month on my project plan
- Where these decisions then don't get overridden by stakeholders who didn't
come to the meeting

And the choir sings:

"So true, funny how it seems
always in time, but never in line for dreams..."
