Well, I try to give them both, and I certainly do understand that they tend to differ. Again, this is not a black and white issue, as the crux of each situation is the personalities involved. There are times that you need to jump up and down and insist on making changes, and other times when you need to realize that it might be futile. The name of the game is setting expectations. If you know that the proposed solution will simply not work in practice, put it in writing. > Do you work software around a business, or rework the business around > the software?` This depends on the client. Some clients are very open to making changes within their organization, while others simply want a tool to facilitate the existing process. Neither way is wrong, IMHO. > > You say at the insistence of the 'group' - this group? Or the > client's group? I assume you mean the client's group.
