Contingency Planning
OMG, where did the week go?! This week has been a great lesson on contingency planning. In between client work, I've been working on improving my master bathroom - myself, somewhat. I have help for the big stuff like installing the new countertop and connecting the plumbing. The project manager in me, planned and planned again before jumping in. I did research and even picked out alternatives - just in case, but…still I needed a plan c and a plan d. All of this re-planning reminds me of web projects. Think about it. How many come out the way you thought it would from the beginning.
When you go in you think you understand what the client is looking for and the client thinks they know what they want, but in the end usually it is something different, a better different. However, to get there you have to be open to the possibilities and understand/know your limits. In my case, knowing I was not ready to do my countertop and connecting the sink. For a client, it could be knowing and admitting that despite "everyone being on Facebook" that they will not post enough to hold the interest of others.
From this home improvement experience, I've learned to be an even more creative problem solver. I've learned that my contingency planning process works for more than websites :-)
