Vent: My whole team missed the client's real goal on that Denver project

We spent 3 weeks building a complex dashboard because the brief said 'data visibility', but the client just wanted a simple weekly email. I learned to ask 'what will you do with this info' before starting. Do you think the failure is on us for not asking, or on them for a bad brief?

Yeah, asking "what will you do with this info" is the key. I built a whole reporting tool once before finding out they just printed it to PDF for one meeting.

Ugh, I've built SO many "one meeting" PDFs myself.
