I didn't like the design but the agency said the revision rounds are over

Here's how it went for us. If acceptance criteria aren't written, when the work is done is open to debate.

Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right. Proven by experience.

I completely agree. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

I went through the same thing two years ago. Every "we'll look at it later" in a meeting means unbilled work.

Ask who prepared the quote and who will actually do the work. If you have questions write them; I'll answer as best I can.

Sorry, but this doesn't apply in every case. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

Let me summarize what's been said so far. If code ownership isn't in the contract, you have no bargaining power when leaving.

Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

i agree. anyway weekly written progress reports are much more useful than asking for dates.

exactly and not many peeople know this. when you try to change everything at once nothing settles.

in legacy systems the most expensive thing is unknown dependencies and just leaving this note, it might be useful.

I completely agree. Implementing a change request process doesn't slow things down, it speeds them up.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think differently. The harder it is to reverse a decision, the slower you should make it.

Thanks a lot, I'll try it today.

I was thinking the same thing. If acceptance criteria aren't written, when the work is done is open to debate.

Correct in theory but it doesnt work that way in practice... Code without setup documentation isnt yours, even if you have it.

If you post the result here it will help others too.

Yes that's exactly how it is with i didn't like the design what can i do. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

How did you solve this? Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

If code ownership isn't in the contract, you have no bargaining power when leaving. Hope this helps.

You're right. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

Everyone rushing into i didn't like the design what can i do gets stuck at the same point. This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

the opposite happened to me, that's why I'm writing then when you try to change evrything at once nothing settles.

proven by experience.

I didn't know that.
