OVERVIEW
——————–

If you don't take the time to work with your client and your team to create the right foundation for your project, the following problems often arise:
* Going over budget, missing deadlines, or delivering something other than what your customer expected
* You invest additional time or money in revising the project results to achieve what your customer wanted
* Loss of profit due to reworking the deliverables of a fixed-price project to achieve what the client wanted

To build a solid foundation at the beginning of a project, it is helpful to set expectations:
* You and your team should understand your customers’ expectations
* Your customer should understand what you expect from him

To identify and clarify everyone's expectations at the start of a new project, follow these 4 steps:
* Connect directly with your customer
* Determination of the rules of engagement
* Identify the client's desired outcomes for the project
* Break down the project results and create a detailed plan

If you follow this 4-step formula at the beginning of every new project, you should be able to:
* Better adhere to project budgets, deadlines and customer expectations
* Minimize rework to meet customer requirements
* Maximize profit on fixed-price projects
