Description: A session exploring the practicalities of working with end-users. Notable questions we will focus on:
-
How do you manage an organic, slow growing relationship when you're working with end-users, within the constraints of a typically static fixed term funding environment?
-
What does it mean to finish a project when your customer's requirements have changed in the meantime?
-
What happens when an end-user wants something that's not 'novel' or 'publishable'?
-
How can everyone win in this situation and what are the unexpected positives?What happens when it goes wrong?
- Is there a better word than "end-user"?
- We often learn more from failure than success, but how do we attack this?
