This morning I learned a valuable lesson. When I asked for assistance with part of a project I assumed that what I meant had been effectively communicated by me. I was wrong. My intention did not translate and the resulting work was not what the clients need nor what I expect. But the gap is a direct result of (a) my assumptions that I communicated clearly - NOPE, (b) that the framework I used made sense - NOPE, and (c) that common terms, although technical, a little inside baseball, if you will, would make sense - WRONG.So I have had to invest several hours in re-working the deliverable because I failed to spend a few minutes up front, clearly, explicitly laying out my thoughts and intentions.
Ooops. Hopefully try not to make that one again...
