Thanks Kirk. I TRY to be conservative and accurate. But mostly at this point people need to know that it takes what it takes. Period. Some take quicker, some longer. And most understand, because they know what it means to get decent work done. And that everyone is busy.
Continuously telling someone “two weeks” is something I hate being told and too many do it.
And I do drop the ball and let things slip sometimes. It happens. Or just plain loose track of how much really needs to be done and how it is all going to get done.
However, To me the most important thing is the quality of the end product. In my book, if the customers only complaint is that something took longer than hoped, then that is pretty darn good.
