Does that make the client a “scope creep”? 🤪
The one intern: I will do it vibe coding
client: "the last page had that feature we cant launch without it"
client 6 month earlier: "feature x is no longer needed if we need some replacement we will come back to it..."
thanks to team management writing all that down.
Client won't sign off on solution, because optional feature 1 and 4 aren't implemented. Yet.
Cuz those optional features are more important than a functional website! Until, right before launch, they find more things that "need to fixed"
Client: I told everybody on my team that if they don't get their feature request in by X date, they're not getting it
My boss:
and then this last one
while (true) {
println("no")
}
“FaSt FoLlOw”
Or, what I actually prefer to do when possible:
Let’s split this into a couple tasks/stories/whatever. We can get you 80% of this in a day or two with existing code/features, keep our target date, and prioritize the rest after that.
We were supposed to go to production with this client back in March
We are still adding features to this application
We're supposed to go to production in a few days and we're still waiting for them to send us images and other feedback. For a month now!
Oof. This is gonna go real well.
