    I guess that a crash course in project management won't hurt.

    If you make your client aware of the impact in cost and schedule of delays and changes WHEN those occur, they would try to stick to the original plan to avoid delays and extra payments.

    Usually linking your milestones to client-related events (like delivering ALL information or formal approval of a UI) give the client a clear idea of where things stand.

    A shared Project file, or a web-based solution with a dumb-proof Gantt chart (and a person to guide a client through it) make clients happy and agencies profitable.

    You cannot really get into a large scale project without this... Or yes you can and your project will end up tits up...

    • this works for known process projects, not so much for inventing something really new...vaxorcist
