I completely agree that accepting changing requirements is essential! These changes often arise not just from oversight but also from new insights gained during project execution, which can ultimately add more value. Fighting against change only complicates matters.

At the same time, it's important to recognize that stakeholders aren't just trying to make our lives difficult. They often view the project from a different perspective, feeling the pressure of delivery. Understanding their viewpoint can foster collaboration rather than frustration, leading to more successful outcomes for everyone involved.

You're a 100% on the scenario 3. We're not robots, we're humans. When you relate to people on a human level and understand that at the end of the day they have a problem they need to fix, you can help them better than any chatbot could.

That's why hopping on a call is best when things can get lost in translation or a message or e-mail will be read differently depending on who's reading it and how they feel.

Intonation, speech speed and tone can change the message you're conveying for better or worse, so meeting is the best approach!
