Design Management Insights: Scope of Work (SOW) & File Specifications (SPECS)

Expert management skills are a requisite for every media and design freelancer

But managing a freelance project AND making a client happy is a first-class high-wire act

As design freelancers, we are engaged in numerous projects riddled with unresolved issues. Unrealistic deadlines, undefined concepts, obscure branding approaches, a team leader on vacation, or simply a computer breakdown, all can cause relentless stress, aggravation, and even worse, strained client-freelancer relationships.

Therefore, we have to utilize tools that help us manage client and team communication, allow for discussions and reviews as necessary, and establish an overall design-flow gestalt to present to clients and stakeholders.

As freelancers, we need to establish a communication protocol from start to finish for the duration of the project
