We've all been there. We work with our SME, we detail out a great course, we get sign-off, and we get it developed. The SME loves it.

.........then.......the SME's boss takes a look. The final product is not at all what the boss thought they communicated to the SME.

This has happened to me before. I think I'm getting the right sign-off, but as it turns out, there is always another person higher up the ladder.

The question is - how much does it cost to redo this work? It depends? 

Did you have flash programmers? Narrators? Artists? eLearning Developers? Each person that had to work on the course, has to work on it all over again. This situation was one of the things that sparked the idea for Activity Spice. I had one SME that made me tweak a set of custom flash activities at least 8 times each. The course ended up costing about 4 times as much as it should have - just for this reason. Now I can tweak the activity with the SME watching over my shoulder! Easy!
