Common Problems faced by consultants
When scope creep lurks
Controlling scope creep in a project is a difficult task. For consultants, it can be almost impossible when the scope of your consulting projects and the scope of your own work don't align. Additionally, the nature of your work changes depending on whether you're hired for consultation or full implementation.
What's the value of your time?
More often than not, the work of a consultant is treated like perfunctory advice. When defining your work is difficult, estimating your efforts and invoicing to clients for time spent gets even trickier.
The scarcity scare
Dealing with diverse resources and varying levels of client buy-in is common for consultants. Effective solutions require full organizational involvement, leveraging all resources, and engaging stakeholders in idea implementation.
Complex, yet ineffective
More than analyzing and finding the right solution, a major hurdle in a consultant's job is effective communication with everyone involved. Despite repeated emails, calls, or meetings, it seems someone is always left out of the loop. Streamlining your communication with all parties involved is vital.
Why should consultants use Zoho Projects?
Manage the scope of the work you undertake by clearly defining what the end goal is. Split this goal into milestones, task lists, tasks, and sub-tasks so you can always keep track of what needs to be done and when to involve your clients.
Project management software for consultants should bring all your clients and stakeholders onto a single platform to streamline your communication with them. Discuss roadblocks, ideas, and solutions in real-time to avoid any confusion.
Track your work hours and bill your clients easily. Invoicing can be done based on a fixed cost, based on the hours spent on a particular task or issue, or based on the hours you spent on the whole project.
Record the time you spend on a task with effortless automatic timers in our project management tool. You can also manually log your hours. Set up an approval process for timesheet entries and add your clients to the project if needed.
Sometimes, your work means you’re always on the go and keeping track of your tasks can be difficult. Not to worry: we have a mobile application to facilitate tracking your tasks any time, anywhere. You can even sync your Google Calendar or iCal with Zoho Projects to keep track of what needs to be done every day.
If implementation is part of your work, resource management becomes crucial to your success. Add all the relevant people to your project to guide them through every step of this process. Manage who needs to do what, how much, and when, using our project management software.
