I have a contract with a client overall its been a very poor experience.
The contract has expired once already (in october) and has now expired once
more (end of january).
This project involves 3 individuals, me (doing the user interface and
client-side coding), a backend coder, and the project head/boss/etc. The
project head hired me to do the user interface and generate client-side
prototypes but has continuously failed to communicate complete
specifications, waiting until Ive already prototyped before communicating
the proper functionality. The documents i have to work with are so
incomplete. I still dont have 50% of the spec., things like side
navigation (!), etc.
Its become blatantly obvious that this individual has never done serious
software development before and basically, this is a nightmare project that
i just want to be over... although could use the money of which 60% is
outstanding.
Any recommendations on what to do? Ive gotten tough with him, but he
constantly does the disappearing act, claiming things like meetings & deaths
in the family of which Im skeptical, but such a thing is hard to dismiss.
He has a tendency to not respond to emails that Im stern with him about.
:(
any thoughts?
thanks
