What if I want to manage my own clients? #23

Closed msmichellegar closed 8 years ago

msmichellegar commented 8 years ago

Something I really enjoy about the freelance work I'm doing is being able to have a relationship with my client. Things like organising meetings, emailing through updates on the project and generally setting the tone for communication are things I would prefer to do myself. Especially if I'm working solo.

Will I be able to continue to manage my projects this way? Or will the agency take over some or all of this communication?

If you want to manage your own client, we'll work with you to make sure you feel equipped to do that.

Our role is to support people working with us, remove interruptions/impediments, manage the overall expectations and help direct the project to a quality outcome. We don't advocate shutting developers away from the client when they want to be involved (it's neither desirable or effective and is often detrimental), we do advocate the whole team being on the same page.
