I spend most of the preparation time talking to the customer and doing sketches, but I don't make any plans.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421526608194399666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465633074548394200.post-36743241005398048282014-01-15T01:34:32.706+01:002014-01-15T01:34:32.706+01:00Here's how I found this post (which I found qu...Here's how I found this post (which I found quite illuminating and challenging - in a great way):<br /><br />1. I was facing yet another planning phase for a small website.<br /><br />2.
