How do you deal with a team that insists on adding new ideas after you lock the storyboard? I’m trying to keep the project on schedule, but every “quick tweak” derails everything.

Always good to see if you can propose a solution that will satisfy the but not significantly derail you. If that’s just not possible, then let them know why it will be an issue and how it would affect budget/schedule. No one wants to hear a flat out “no, we can’t do that” Eithee way, make sure you’ve given it a good amount of thought rather than a knee jerk “No.”

Always try to find a way to yes. They want to know you tried. Present the cost and timing. It’s someone else’s call if it’s worth it or not.

Internal team or client?

I don’t really care. If the client loves it, the job description is to keep them happy. If it costs more you just price it out. If they want to pay more, it’s up to them. If they want to miss the due date and aim for a new one it’s their decision. If they act like you’re supposed to produce a magic trick to meet the same due date with no incremental, there’s a literal department called account management. If they’re incompetent & can’t do this, you just share the budget options and eventually they’ll make a decision. It’s not all on you and if your team is getting paid during all this drama, then it’s just work, who cares as long as the client pays for it. That says, it’s good to present options, it shows willingness to collaborate internally & also try to elevate the work.

You can do whatever you want as long as you pay for it. Time, scope or deliverables. It’s all doable as long as they’re willing to pay. If they aren’t, get fucked.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
