I definitely agree though you shouldn't automatically get uptight and at least hear the client out.<br /><br />One thing to watch out for is notes/retakes/etc. A limit has to be set or there's that risk they'll ask for changes outside your project's scope.<br /><br />I also think the Project Management Triangle/Pick Two(Fast, Good, Cheap) is a good guide to keep in mind, which I think your list is covering here.<br /><br />One more thing to be careful of is accidentally setting a bad precedent, or kicking off a whole "race to the bottom" scenario. It really depends on the situation. In your case Patrick it worked out alright. In other cases though, the client might have gone to someone else and said "This guy did it for free, why not you?" It's a constant juggling act. Something to watch out for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930845918040443151.post-15221774624776352592016-10-19T18:41:29.753-04:002016-10-19T18:41:29.753-04:00Thanks for providing an alternative way to look at...Thanks for providing an alternative way to look at this.
