I wanted to reply to this separately because I feel that my other reply was about a disagreement on approach, whereas this single statement to me is just lipstick on the pig. It's the same bloody thing. You can gussy it up anyway you want but the fact of the matter is the end result is identical: The client paying for what they want. The only difference is that you don't define what you're going to do ahead of time. It seems like you've gotten to a point in your career where you've established enough of a personal rep that you can behave a bit like an artist. And that's great. However you are giving someone who, I'm assuming is fairly new to the game, advice that isn't very applicable to most real world clients. Or ones that I've had to deal with anyway. Bean counters are skeptical as hell of the iterative approach because it doesn't work into their budgets very well. You can't budget on "pay us $X an hour and we'll see where it goes." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341915 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
