Fast, Cheap, or Good - Pick any two

Clients want their project to be perfect instantly for free. That's fine, that's what we all want.

Reality is you can only have it fast and good, cheap and good, or fast and cheap. Make sure your client understands the scope of the project and the deliverables before you begin work to eliminate misunderstandings. Make sure fee structure and payment schedule is defined. Don't cut corners in the project definition phase unless you have a free lifetime supply of Tums and are independently wealthy.
