Corey and Deane talk about managing expectations in the early moments of a new web project — from discussing how to balance "fast, cheap, and good," how to flex and manage early timelines, and making hard decisions about features.
Then, Karen McGrane of Autogram joins the podcast to discuss our role as corporate counselors, how to counteract overpromising from the sales team, and what do to if the person setting too-big expectations is ... your boss. (Also: Karen weighs in on the best mockumentary.)
The Web Project Guide (webproject.guide) is sponsored by Blend Interactive, a web strategy, design, and development firm dedicated to making great things for the web.
