You are exactly correct...I was brought in to "clean things up' and you'll see in subsequent posts that clean-up is exactly what we did. Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the comment. You are exactly correct…I was brought in to “clean things up’ and you’ll see in subsequent posts that clean-up is exactly what we did.

I'm not sure about your experience in this post exactly, however, the client (in those cases where a consultant has been retained) is often driving a poor timeline. It's difficult to discern when one comes in later to clean up. It sounds a lot like that's what you were doing in this scenario. I want to agree with you whole-heartedly and add that consultants and analysts have to push back on clients/customers when their timing is unrealistic. It may upset them initially but in the long run it's far better to manage expectations that are ultimately possible.
