The hot topic for any project. If you know you can’t build what your client wants within the time don’t blindly agree to do it. You may look good in the first week of the project, but you are the one who is going to have to face the flack later down the line. Never be afraid to ask for more time up front if you have any logical concerns, most clients will listen and take your advice onboard. Walk away from those that don’t and who continue to insist on a ridiculous deadline, because the situation will only compound and put a strain on you and your team which leads to another failed web project. To keep track of time scales set up a rolling schedule at the beginning of the project, review and update it weekly. Remember it’s a ‘rolling’ schedule so any delay, no matter how small, needs to be highlighted and the impact made clear, even if you can make up the time elsewhere. This will help later on if you need extra time or extra budget as you will have a clear trail to the events which have caused this
