Tell that to my last client.

I tried to put together a workable MVP as quickly as possible. The designs that I thought were aspirational designs for a finished product that would be completed eventually, but no, the CEO really wanted all of the fancy transparency, the exact button spacing, the exact imagery and fonts (despite the fact that they used fonts that weren't licensed for app usage...sigh...).

So we spent tons of time that was supposed to be MVP instead making a polished final product.

And then the CEO threw a new set of art to us and asked for a third redesign (ours was apparently the second, after the initial developer resisted making major design changes). And then a FOURTH redesign.

It amazes me that this guy (continues!) to get funding. But he's managed it. :|



As an independent consultant it's your job to pushback and maintain realistic expectations (unless you're being paid by the hour).
