Aug 20, 2012 at 19:46 comment added Rob Bird Thanks for the honest answer! Time to own up to the fact that I am actually the lead developer on the team being asked for a rough estimate for something that I feel uncomfortable estimating. The problem is the product chosen with the customer for it's feature set has no documentation (or any other resources) on how such custom integrations can be achieved and the team has little experience with it. I have already raised my concerns, but was just wondering if there was a way to approach this with a more positive or constructive attitude.

Aug 20, 2012 at 13:58 comment added David Espina Sadly, I've been on the side of the vendor flexing its muscles and thumping its chest saying we can do anything, when I know we have zero capability of pulling it off. Then I get to watch the train slowly come off its tracks. Waste of time and sad for the customer. Thanks for the upvote. D

I've been on the receiving end of vendors trying to get the contract without having the capabilities to deliver or thinking through how it will be done to not upvote this!
