Even when executives are just trying to help, they almost always cause
friction when they estimate hours. Speak in terms of the estimated number of
pages and the number of gadgets on each page.

Next, some developers only deal locally. This is my preference - and maybe
I'm the only one! But still, report where you are located. Distance is
another source of friction.
