I think you and Joshua are arguing against the very thing I am trying to achieve I have split my budget into two. Half of it would be dedicated to what you describe as the 1.3-1.4 lifecycle - I assume that those funding will get a rough veto on the big stuff, but beyond that we are simply buying developer time. The other half is reserved for where my needs deviate from the 1.3/1.4 timeline (although it's intended that any changes are rolled back into the main application). I don't want to be involved in some big debate figuring out how you spend the core of this development time - that's just a waste of the time I want to be paying for you to be developing. However, be clear that if this comes off I am expecting to see clear value for money and some demonstration that the money turned into code - I don't think this is unreasonable? It's distressing that no one else has piped up so perhaps I have completely missed the mark... I am absolutely gobsmacked that there aren't a bunch of companies following LSMB that we can't scrape together $40K just to buy 4+ months of dedicated development on the 1.3/1.4 roadmap... Come on folks - this isn't particularly big bucks for software? The commercial competition costs of the order of magnitude I am suggestion just for a couple of licences... Here's hoping...
