I'm not sure how this woman at work got to be a project manager on the web app that I'm developing, but she's about to make me crazy. There's been so many times she's asked for a feature only to have me remove said feature later on. She keeps on making the site more complicated on the premise that she's making it simpler. In essence, she wants the whole site to be a wizard...argh.
Anyway, we have a documents section on this web app. Each document has a 1 line title and a multiline description. She said that the descriptions of the documents were causing people to scroll too much so she wanted them hidden by default with an expand button next to the title. I explained to her that I thought this was a bad ux decision as finding the correct document would require expanding those descriptions. (The descriptions have the expiration date and a list of projects those docs are related to). In the end, I did it....grudgingly Yesterday, she asked me to expand the title field. It's already 256 chars long so I asked what she was putting in the title field. She replied that she was putting the title, the expiration date and all the projects it was related to.....AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Oh and she's hosting training on this site today and wants a feature pushed out that hasn't been tested beyond what testing I do. I explained how bad of an idea it is to push an untested feature out 4 hours before training...but she still wants it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:360574 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
