I think it is important to have clear rules for how you'll handle adjustments to the project. It's important to set expectations clearly at the outset; however, things change and there needs to be respect for that. Nothing that is in writing should be allowed to remain incorrect unless it is specifically superceded. Especially for bright people, it is difficult to go through the motions of writing up one's little decisions after the fact. Can't we just move forward? Do we need all this bureaucracy? It's not just about covering your ass -- you also want to be sure that what you remember is what the other party remembers. The after-meeting write-up and review is a good exercize for that. -- Jason Dusek
