Session
We all need to work with clients that need things done. Like in every human relationship, sometimes you need to make compromises. This session is about the confrontations when things don’t work out as planned. When it’s about money and about delivering what was promised — and when you can’t. This session is the follow from Imre Gmelig Meijling’s talk ‘Who cares about Drupal? How to win the hearts and minds of businesses’ at Drupal MountainCamp 2019. It shares real-life examples from smaller and enterprise projects and ways to make those compromises. Including analogies with Star Trek and Back To The Future. ‘For good or for worse: making happy client relationships’ rated no. 5 in the DrupalCon Lille 2023 Attendees Satisfaction Survey.
