1 Define the project scope

Before you start any project, you need to have a clear understanding of what the project entails, what the deliverables are, and what the expectations are from your client. You should also define the project objectives, milestones, risks, and assumptions. A project scope statement is a document that summarizes these elements and serves as a reference point for the project. It helps you avoid scope creep, which is when the project expands beyond its original scope due to changing requirements or requests. A project scope statement also helps you align your team members and stakeholders on the project vision and goals.

Para mí algo clave en esta instancia es la reunión de kick off. En esta reunión, el cliente y el proveedor establecen objetivos, definen fechas, entregables y expectativas. Asimismo, se comprometen y se establecen los recursos que se tendrán a disposición. Finalmente, se determinan los siguientes pasos a seguir y las fechas de seguimiento y control para ir ajustando según corresponda.

In my experience one of the best experiences to define the project scope is to use a collaborative and iterative approach. This means that you involve the stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, and you review and refine the scope as the project progresses. This way, you can ensure that the scope is aligned with the changing needs and expectations of the stakeholders, and that you can manage any changes or issues that arise along the way.

2 Create a project plan

A project plan is a detailed document that outlines how you will execute the project scope. It includes information such as the tasks, dependencies, resources, timeline, budget, quality standards, and communication methods. A project plan helps you organize your work, track your progress, and manage any changes or issues that arise. You can use various tools and techniques to create a project plan, such as a work breakdown structure (WBS), a Gantt chart, a risk register, or a project management software. A project plan also helps you communicate your expectations and deliverables to your client and team members.

La creación de un plan de proyecto sólido es esencial para el éxito. Ya sea a través de un software especializado como lo puede ser MS Project, o en una hoja de cálculo como Excel, o en un diagrama de Gantt u otro documento que funja de estructura; será necesario considerar todos los detalles posibles, a fin de considerar escenarios y plazos en el tiempo. Esta herramienta nos ayudará a gestionar de manera efectiva nuestro plan de proyecto.

3 Communicate effectively

Communication is key to any successful project, especially as a freelance project coordinator. You need to communicate regularly and clearly with your client and team members, as well as any other stakeholders involved in the project. You need to establish the communication channels, frequency, format, and tone that suit your project. You also need to provide updates, feedback, reports, and documentation that are relevant and timely. Communication helps you build trust, rapport, and collaboration with your project participants. It also helps you prevent or resolve any conflicts, misunderstandings, or errors that may occur.

4 Monitor and control the project

As a freelance project coordinator, you need to monitor and control the project performance and quality throughout the project lifecycle. You need to measure and compare the actual results against the planned results, and identify and address any deviations or issues. You need to use various tools and methods to monitor and control the project, such as a dashboard, a status report, a change request, or a quality audit. Monitoring and controlling the project helps you ensure that the project is on track, on budget, and on scope.

5 Close the project

The final stage of any project is to close it formally and effectively. You need to complete and deliver all the project deliverables, obtain the client's acceptance and feedback, and finalize the payment and contract. You also need to document and archive all the project records, such as the scope statement, the plan, the reports, and the lessons learned. Closing the project helps you wrap up the project successfully, celebrate your achievements, and evaluate your performance. It also helps you improve your skills and reputation as a freelance project coordinator.
