先澄清新增需求的价值
Client: Could you add a comparison chart to the report before Friday? Consultant: I can see how that would help your presentation. To estimate the work properly, could you confirm which three products should be compared and whether the figures have already been checked? The current Friday plan covers the written findings and the existing tables.
客户:你能在周五前给报告加一个对比图吗?顾问:我能理解它会帮助你的演示。为了准确估计工作量,能否确认要比较哪三款产品,以及数据是否已核对?目前的周五计划包括文字结论和已有表格。
解释影响,给出真实选项
Client: The figures still need checking. Consultant: In that case, adding the chart affects both analysis and review time. We have two workable options: keep Friday’s delivery and send the chart as a separate addition on Monday, or move the complete report to Monday. I would not recommend removing the data check simply to preserve the original date.
客户:数据还需要核对。顾问:这样的话,增加图表会影响分析和复核时间。我们有两个可行选项:保持周五交付,周一另发图表补充;或者把完整报告挪到周一。我不建议仅为保留原日期而取消数据核对。
把承诺限定在已确认信息上
Client: Let us keep Friday and add the chart on Monday. Consultant: Agreed. I will record Friday as the delivery of the original scope, with the checked comparison chart following on Monday. That timing assumes we receive the product figures by noon tomorrow. If the data arrives later or the comparison changes, I will flag the effect promptly and we can reassess the addition together.
客户:那就保持周五,周一再加图表。顾问:同意。我会记录周五交付原范围,周一补交核对后的对比图。这个时间以明天中午前收到产品数据为前提。如果数据更晚到,或比较内容变化,我会及时说明影响,再一起重新评估补充部分。
That timing assumes…
把截止日期依赖的条件明说,防止有条件估计被当成无条件保证。
That timing assumes we receive the files by noon.
这个时间以中午前收到文件为前提。
I would not recommend…
温和但明确地指出不应牺牲的步骤,并给出与质量有关的理由。
I would not recommend skipping the review to save time.
我不建议为了省时间而跳过复核。
