Funny, i was once in a project where i was asked to build some software. They asked if I can do it in a year. When I asked for requirements they deflected to scrum.

Probably the shittiest job I've ever had. Asked to build a system in a year with no pre-defined scope or requirements (which I complained about in advance). Told them I can build something in a year.

Of course they weren't happy about something because they wanted more. Told them to go fuck themselves.

Frankly, I should have seen it coming before the project started. Fixed budget, no requirements or scope should have been a giant red flag in hindsight.

I wonder what happened to that.

> Fixed budget, no requirements or scope

Their requirements were pretty clear to me: they want to have a cake and eat it.
