 		 #179820 - Contract
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
if you sign a contract vague enough that your customer can say, "That's not what I wanted!" then you've failed to do your job.

That's true enough.

You may have to educate the customer about this - see: http://www.8052.com/forumchat/read/179819

It may be more appropriate to have a "staged" project, with frequent reviews.

Or just to proceed on a "time and materials" or "cost-plus" basis...

   But there's ARMs and ARMs...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Definitely too large span of ARM chips            01/01/70 00:00

               once again, I have to agree            01/01/70 00:00      
                  There's lot of analysis involved - about money            01/01/70 00:00

            Feature Creep            01/01/70 00:00      
               Often easier to shrink after you have a product            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Absolutely!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Isn't that a product of poor analysis?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        If requirements are properly analysed...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        no, it is a result of 'poor' customers            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Don't (necessarily) blame the customers!            01/01/70 00:00

                                          You are still just the machine shop with ready blue prints            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             You can't engineer an enigma            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                Still not admitting different development requirements            01/01/70 00:00

                           I have to disagree ... provisionally            01/01/70 00:00

   Discussing Discussing ARMs on 8052.com ...            01/01/70 00:00
