Weeeeeeeeeeellllllllllll,Originally posted by suityou01 View PostI 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
Given that I've met you, and given that we now know we have the same client co, I would say this isn't unusual and there really is no hope for them. Find a way to get a rate rise out of it and you are good.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

*Always* check the document history first."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Just go back to whoever pointed that out to you and explain why it happened.
No harm in doing that. Natural thing is to have a post-mortem on these things to make sure it doesn't happen again. You can even tell them that next time you won't assume to be informed if documents are changed and you'll regularly check the archive in future. Then it sounds like how you personally will make sure this doesn't happen again, without just laying blame. "Oh I was silly enough to assume that I would be informed about changes, so next time I'll double check".Last edited by BlasterBates; 28 January 2011, 05:40.I'm alright JackComment

Doesn't that risk volunteering to be the scapegoat for future cock-ups?Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostMy all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
