Well, sorry! This is not a suicide saga. It is a rather funny take on a not-so-funny, yet very common experience of Web Designers and Developers around the world. As a web designer, have you ever felt super frustrated with your client while catering to his never-ending, unreasonable and whimsical demands? It is not unknown for designers to face challenging situations at workplace with difficult clients wanting to play a dominant role in the Software Development Life Cycle. However, in some cases it can affect the project cycle to an extent that service delivery leads to a disaster. In most of such cases, the client originally appears to be the most valued participant of the project in hand. There are clients who know what they want, have a clearly laid out scope of work, communicate regularly, are fully aware of the market/ trend, provide constructive reviews/feedback and are prompt in approvals. And there are clients who are seldom happy. Even if you put up a path-breaking show, they come up with their change requests based on personal choices arising out of bias, rather than being objective to the business needs of the organization. ‘Minor change’ requests lead to overwhelming, radical modifications that go on indefinitely and ultimately the outcome is nowhere close to your original scope. Clients like these need deft handling or your project goes for a toss, and so do you. You lose track of time and resources involved, and work goes on forever. The question is, is there a way to prevent this? Some clients are a pleasure to work with, and its plain easy....
