Managing the project
Document flow
ОглавлениеOf course, it’s too boring for turquoise organizations and should be handled by special people. But no matter how perfect a PM you are, what good is it if you signed a contract with postpayment in 5 years and endless revisions. There are lawyers and financiers almost everywhere, but the ideal PM understands the documents himself. Why they are needed, what the approval process is and what you need to pay attention to so you don’t get caught in an endless hell of client manipulation. Naturally, your clients are different, you have a great relationship, and it will never come to a shootout with wording from the contract. But trust me, sooner or later it will, and you’ll be visiting Dr. Milestone afterwards. Lawyers can help you check strange wording, signatories, and the date of the power of attorney, but the ideal PM knows how to organize the paperwork process and always pays attention to the subject matter of the contract, terms and conditions on time, payment, liability, and acceptance of work. And when the time comes to meet the horseman of the apocalypse – the start of work without a contract – he knows where to lay the straw and how to communicate with the client even in the mail to minimize problems.
