Do you actively manage projects, or do they manage you? If it seems too easy it might just have hidden complexities. What your client considers a complete project may be very different than what you are proposing. The trick here is for you to make sure that your projects, deliverables, and outcomes are aligned with what the client expects.
Projects scopes change, Communications can become brittle and heated when opinions of expectations become unclear or out of whack. Here are some of the steps I use to manage project scope and clients expectations that may help you avoid mistakes I have made and get paid for the work you are proposing…

- Invoice Upfront – Detail Steps and Costs
- Email – Create A Paper Trail Of Expectations
- Clear Communication – Talk In The Clients' Language & Not Yours
