Work guidelines for fresh assignments at Rocketbrush Studio
In our company, we pride ourselves on a structured approach to new projects, ensuring clear expectations, reduced risks, and successful project delivery. This approach aligns with standard project management phases and includes specific processes such as client approval, gathering information requirements, defining payment terms, reporting, and asset publishing policies.
Project Initiation/Definition
The first step involves defining the project goals, scope, and objectives. We identify stakeholders, including the client, and conduct feasibility studies to explore the technical, economic, and operational viability. We gather initial information requirements from the client to understand needs and constraints, and secure preliminary client approval to proceed with the project concept.
Planning
In the planning phase, we develop a detailed project plan and roadmap, outlining tasks, timelines, resources, and dependencies. We establish project policies, including reporting frequency and formats, payment terms, and client approval milestones. We clarify information requirements in greater detail to ensure alignment between client expectations and deliverables, and agree on payment terms.
Execution (Design and Development)
The actual work on design, content creation, and website development takes place during this phase. Regular reporting on progress is provided to the client to maintain transparency. Client approvals are sought at key points, such as wireframe approval, design approval, or development milestones. We manage asset creation and integration per agreed specifications and standards.
Monitoring and Control
Ongoing monitoring of progress, quality, risks, budget, and timelines is crucial during this phase. We ensure adherence to client-specified requirements and reporting commitments. We adjust based on client feedback and project conditions, maintaining communication until deliverables meet approval standards.
Closure (Testing and Publishing)
Thorough testing (functionality, compatibility, performance) is performed before the final client approval. The assets are then moved from the staging environment to live publishing, following asset publishing policies. The final payment is typically made upon project completion and client acceptance. Project documentation and final reporting are delivered, and ongoing maintenance/support terms are outlined.
Key Points
- Client approval is a recurring process at critical stages such as project initiation, design sign-off, and before final publishing.
- Information requirements gathering happens early and is iteratively refined through client interaction.
- Payment terms are negotiated and clearly stipulated in the planning phase and tied to milestone approvals.
- Reporting processes ensure transparent communication through scheduled updates, progress reports, and meetings throughout execution and monitoring.
- Asset publishing policies govern the final deployment, including version control, quality checks, and the transfer of ownership or rights.
Additional Information
- Under no circumstances can the exports (source files) be submitted before they are paid for.
- Reports are provided along the way, either daily or each time there's an update, and feedback is expected at your convenience to stay within the agreed schedule.
- If you have any questions regarding these Terms of Work, please contact your dedicated Project Manager.
- After the rough outline, the final form of the asset is developed, where minor changes can be requested.
- It's essential to provide all key information before starting the work to meet deadlines and avoid unnecessary work.
- At the initial stage, a sketch or rough outline of the asset is created, allowing for your edits as long as they don't contradict the initial specifications.
- In our project execution phase, technology plays a vital role in the design, content creation, and website development process, ensuring quality output and adherence to client specifications.
- Integrating lifestyle elements into the project, such as user-friendly designs and seamless functionality, contributes to an overall satisfying experience for clients, aligning with our approach to successful project delivery.
