Project Management

I use Waterfall for most of my small projects (i.e. Wordpress Websites). These projects go through the following stages:

For larger projects, I break down the project into sprints.

My strategy when it comes to developing SaaS or Apps is to get to a Minimum Viable Product

Communication

I create client portals in Notion where I keep information about Projects, Sprints, and Deliverables

I use Loom to record short videos. I instruct my clients to provide feedback using short videos.

My clients are not techically savvy, so I tend to have Video Conference calls or meetings to discuss projects and gather information.

Before any meeting, I emails participants a short list of things we will dicuss. I also prepare a slideshow presentation to help us stay focused during the meetings

Balancing Feasibility and Economic Resources

Desirability: My clients usually want what their competitors have plus some things that diferrentiate them. I help them align this with what their ideal customers need.

Feasibility: I help them determine if we have the skills and resources to do it

Viability: I help them determine if we have the skills and resources to maintain it
