Attention seeking post

I need a group hug guys.

I just got a huge kicking for a requirements gap in a spec that I wrote last October. The subsequent deliverable is deemed not fit for purpose and has been dropped from the release.

I was brought to book and shown the section in the related high level requirements document. Sure enough there it was and it was not in my f-spec.

So I wanted to know how I missed it. Berating myself I opened the DMS and located the document. Opened it. Read and re-read the section. Then I checked the document revision history. This section was added a month after sign off of the f-spec and the document owner did not warn me.

I'm not sure what approach to take with ClientCo. I am rightly pissed off.

Options please? Gun-toting killing spree is already on the list

Just apologise and give them a week of free work.

Just point out it was added afterwards and document control shows it. Berate the client for not following process.

Mmm not a details man huh? Re-read the O/P. Find the section where it turns out it's their fault and give it another go, there's a good lad. :

I'm sure there's a clever way of handling this so that I get something out of it.

You could always do the honourable thing.

Your work was not part of what was released to production. How is that value adding to the customer?

Nope. Not getting this are you.

Mass email to the entire programme / project team saying "Please follow due process in future, this cock-up has resulted in a deliverable being dropped" detailing what happened, but without names.
