Probably not news to anyone in this bowl but it just dawned on my why the culture is what it is here. Everyone is on CYA at all times. There’s no ‘in this together’ environment, at least in my project. SMs letting scope creep without pushing back. SOWs that were signed and clearly disorganized from the jump and all the shit falls down hill. L9 that feels like everything is coming down on their shoulders and I’m just done. Can’t take it anymore. Time to leave.

Yeah, we have different experiences.

My current project is taking a hit to margin to keep us chargeable part time because, though our project is over and another phase of work is coming, we can’t stop now. So, my SM is basically not chargeable but letting others be chargeable and is taking personal responsibility for the SOW being late.

It might be hard but try to keep an open mind and see if you are able to overdeliver. I’ve never had a client that didn’t ask for more than agreed upon and I try to overdeliver when it’s reasonable. For the times you know you cannot do it all, try framing the situation like this and see what your leadership says.

“I understand that the client is now asking for X, and it sounds like it would create some value for them. Right now, I’m working on Y, which is a part of our original scope, and shifting focus to X will create real risk to the timeline or quality of Y because of Z reasons. With that in mind, do you want me to shift my focus to X? If so, I’ll start on it ASAP.”

This has been my experience as well on many engagements. The scope creep and unrealistic expectations with clients.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
