<\/strong><\/p>\n master the map to success.<\/strong><\/p>\n by jody padar<\/i> there are two basic ways to drive from door county, wisconsin, to new orleans to attend mardi gras in february. the first is to chart a course using a map or gps app. it will tell you the route to take, where to stop along the way and how long it will take to make the drive. the second way is to start the car, back out of the driveway and head south, hoping you\u2019ll bump into new orleans along the way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n which do you think gives you the better opportunity to arrive in new orleans in time for the festivities?<\/p>\n scope is a lot like creating a project map showing what you want to accomplish, who\u2019s going to do what, how you\u2019re going to do it, what you\u2019ll need along the way and how long it will take to get there. it includes all the specific details of what you\u2019ll deliver to the client, including, for example, tax returns, quarterly planning, bookkeeping and cash flow management.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n proper scoping benefits both your client and your team. the client knows exactly what to expect from your services because all the deliverables and pricing are made crystal clear. internally, it outlines exactly what it will take to get the deliverables to the client and how much effort will be required. the purpose is to know the exact parameters of the work you will be doing for the client so your team doesn\u2019t overwork (or underwork) the file.<\/p>\n when done properly, scoping leads to strong alignment between the firm and client by putting everyone on the same page. there aren\u2019t any surprises, and the client\u2019s responsibilities are just as defined as the firm\u2019s deliverables.<\/p>\n to scope properly, you need to know everything about the client, from business operations to financials. the better you know the client, the more accurately you\u2019ll be able to estimate what\u2019s involved in serving them. the goal is knowing exactly what it will take to get the work done so you\u2019ll know your costs, the hours, the breadth and the technology. all the information collected during scoping will help you to determine a fixed and\/or value price.<\/p>\n some initial scoping questions may include:<\/p>\n these are just some of the questions you should ask to scope any particular client thoroughly. unfortunately, no matter how well you know a client and how diligently you scope a project, things happen. to ensure profitability, it\u2019s best to add a 20 percent fudge factor to your price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" master the map to success.<\/strong>
