Relationships require a lot of attention and relationships with vendors are no different. I strive to give what I expect to model the behavior and teach my vendors what I need from them. River the course of multiple conversations I outline our internal organizational change processes and timelines. I explain barriers I have that they can help me work around so my communications can be timely and effective. I talk with them about current annual and monthly spend as well as what we have in the pipeline and on roadmaps so they are in a position to defend their time and communication efforts with us. This is foundational to project and release scheduling of update communication.
