Here are three maxims to follow if you want your firm to be even better at project management. NEWS FROM THE FIRMS
1. Stay Within Scope Your firm and the client must be crystal-clear on the work that is to be completed. Spell everything out.

The modification needs to be agreed upon and spelled out by both parties before it’s undertaken.
2. You Need to Get Paid
