Balancing client requests for more features while keeping a Computer Graphics project on track requires strategic prioritization, clear communication, and scope control. ?? Prioritize impact: Not every request adds value. I assess feasibility, user benefit, and alignment with the project's core goals. ?? Set boundaries: I prevent scope creep by defining clear milestones and communicating trade-offs—more features often mean delays or performance compromises. ?? Iterate smartly: I integrate feedback in structured cycles, ensuring new features enhance rather than derail the project. For me, maintaining focus without stifling innovation is key.

Keeping a computer graphics project on track amidst increasing client feature requests requires prioritization and clear communication. By establishing a transparent roadmap and setting realistic expectations, I manage client needs without compromising project goals. Regular updates and feedback loops ensure clients are informed about progress and potential constraints. Strategic planning and resource allocation help balance feature additions with timely delivery, ensuring the project stays focused and aligned with both client expectations and design objectives.

After establishing a specification with my client, we then establish a schedule. If there are additions we measure together the impact on the overall project and assess the costs involved

My answer is: force-prioritize it asap. If not, it's going to be, like, the 15th priority and code will rot. Quick addition of features, specially under pressure for deadlines, is an invitation for ill-written or prototype-level code. While an arguably unavoidable part of the game, this must be dealt with. Prioritizing code clean-up (which shouldn't be taken lightly) doesn't strikeout items in the feature list and thus seems valueless. The value it brings lies in the programming workflow. While hard to measure by simple metrics, any developer will agree that clean, well structured frameworks are a bliss. And this is invaluable in a high-quality production environment.

Think ahead. Visualize the business and product goals rather than the features with the client. Work out the specifics with the developers, and then present a roadmap to the client.
