Flexibility - To be or not to be - That is the question.

So, I just read Eric's post about Flexibility and Firminosity. (Come on. Lighten up.) He's waiting for some comments. Give him some.

Here's my 2 cents. If flexibility was part of the deal before the deal was done and everyone agrees what flexibility means, then flexibility is warranted. However, more often then not, it's a one way street. For example, if we're looking for a little flexibility on delivery time, client may (rightfully) object. On the other hand, they may be very upset with us if we were to object to their request for "flexibility" in payment terms.

In my opinion, flexibility is a slippery slope and is seldom warranted. Now, please comment on Eric's blog.
