It seems like HN might need to think about subHNs

Nobody really calls me anymore. Even my wife knows I'm more likely to reply to her email than pickup the phone ;)

not really - there is a subtle difference

fair enough but I'm fairly sure that if you traveled in time from 5y ago with a decent developer from that time he would have hard time landing a job today

I think that's a bit different. Checklists are reusable and shared. It's not a one-time todolist

Colin,

which browser are you using? Looks good here.

good point. Weekly & daily rates are probably better as few commenters suggested.

It's not about the lack of skill on the supplier side. It's usually the client that is not sure how exactly the project should look like. And that's ok - he does not need to scope out every detail - it can be worked out along the way.

Our "response" to this is radical transparency. Client should be able to track the progress in almost realtime.

The problem is that usually the business is not sure what it wants then the project starts - the scope is not well defined. And it's ok. This is something that all stakeholders learn along the way.

But than you are introducing overhead of deciding this. For obvious reasons this is something that needs to be negotiated with a client and documented.
