Because, well, sometimes hard and fast specs aren't available, and
working face to face with someone allows better communication.
It's as simple and as profound as that.
It may allow quicker communication, but that can be handled by telephone.
Some can; some cannot. When you have a captive audience in front of you,
you often get a higher percentage of attention than you do when the
other party could be IMing a second person and/or composing an email to
a third.
You want me to work for you, simply tell me what you want. That
communication not only defines the project, but get the client to think
it terms of what's important to them.
And fat people should simply just not eat so much! It's just that simple!
That may work well, if there are well-defined tasks and little change.
With many moving parts, it becomes harder.
Your mileage may vary.
My mileage does vary. I have worked on numerous projects that have
moving parts -- in fact, they all do. But written communication better
defines what the needs are -- and -- they come with a time stamp.
That's right...if you are lucky enough to have projects that work in
that fashion. Not everyone works in email. Not all clients WANT to.
