Planning

Reliability and Transparency. Reliability and Transparency.

During our preliminary discussion we will determine

1. The timeline
Either you suggest a timeline, or I will construct a suggested timeline. For the latter, I need to know

  • When you can provide the necessary documents (data, text, draft text, templates, example documents, style guide, etc.)
  • When the final version is needed
  • How many rounds of review are planned, and how much time you will need for your review
  • If online meetings are necessary

2. The way of communication

  • Will documents be provided (both ways) via email or upload on sharepoint
  • Way of feedback and comments (in WORD or PDF, Track changes, comment consolidation)
  • Main person of contact
  • Types of software used
  • 3. Responsibilities

    4. Terms of business

    If you wish, I will provide a project plan that details all or some of the above.

    I will do my utmost to complete your project in the discussed timelines and within the budget.
    If delays or changes are necessary from your side, I will still try to stick to the original timeline. If this is not possible, I will suggest am updated timeline.
    In case I foresee unavoidable changes or delays or increases in cost from my side, I will inform you as soon as these changes become apparent.
    Transparent, clear, and early communication from both sides will ensure that the project is completed within the timeline and within the budget.

    Fees and Availability

    Different modes of pricing are available

    • Fee per hour
    • Fixed fee per project
    • Agreed availability per week or month

    Ask me about special discounts for subjects dear to my heart.

    Overall cost depends on several factors (including amount and complexity of the project, time pressure, etc.).
    After reviewing and discussing your project I can give a transparent cost estimate.
    My rates are roughly in line with those published by EMWA ( … more )

    Reduced pricing may be available, e.g. for non-profit organizations.
    I will try my utmost to complete your project within the discussed time line and budget. Should any delays or an increase in cost be unavoidable.
    I will communicate this as soon as possible.

    Please contact me to discuss your project and needs.
