![]() Sometimes this can easily be identified as feature-creep, and sometimes it is more arguable. Or an amend might actually be a completely new request in disguise. Now, here is some more information, and I want you to try again….” So when a client asks for an amend in this case, the amend actually means “I didn’t explain myself clearly at first, so you wasted your time. The coders, designers, etc., have provided a perfectly reasonable piece of work based on their interpretation of the brief as it stood, but the brief was ambiguous, and their interpretation does not match the client’s expectation. ![]() Those are pretty straight forward, but there are also three other possibilities.Īn amend might be requested because the original brief, the information given to the guys doing the job, was not clear. An amend like this means “you haven’t done your job properly – please get it right this time.” Second, amends can be requested because the initial work simply was not good enough – because a coder missed out a piece of functionality, because a designer failed to pay attention to the brief, because sound assets were too rough. So, in this case a requested amend means “it’s good, but we want to do better”. Amends – intelligent amends – can increase quality. There are five reasons why a piece of work needs revisions.įirst, amends can be requested simply to make the work better – to add polish. (I’m a project delivery junkie – of course I always want to break everything down – but stay with me here, as this is illuminating….) Is this a reasonable thing for someone to request? When someone asks for “unlimited revisions”, they are saying that they want the right to ask for an unlimited number of changes to a piece of work, before it is accepted, at the expense of the person delivering the work.
