One thing I’ve found helpful is setting realistic timelines upfront and communicating potential challenges that could impact delivery. Actually, I disagree with overpromising to meet expectations, as it risks missing deadlines and damaging trust. An example is breaking the project into phases and providing regular updates on progress. This keeps the client informed and aligns their expectations with achievable outcomes.

Es necesario poner en contexto y en actualidad al cliente en todo momento. Las falsas expectativas van a generar decepciones y retiro de confianza para futuros proyectos. La comunicación fluida y constante con el cliente es pieza clave para poder gestionar de manera realista y eficiente las demandas que se planteen.
