Little wonder project managers tend to go bald, it's from tearing out their hair :D > Somebody important says "Something must be done", so I make an arbitrary > decision to go live, because that's something, therefore it must be done, > and throw it over to the support team to sort out at their leisure. At my last job we had a couple of sites that went through "design by committee". In one case the owner of our company was eager to impress the client so he had to put his $0.02 in every other day, in addition to everyone else. Designers just love being a human paintbrush to managers with no design credentials. Better him than me, I thought. I nearly wet myself laughing when the boss told him to start using the golden ratio, which he pretty much did already. You've also reminded me of another client who decided to go live so he had his DNS switched over... when we weren't ready. He told us after he'd done it, of course. I wish I'd had a support team to throw it over to. I'd better stop here before I hit the liquor cabinet.
