Virginia Tech Question. What is your process for managing deadlines if/when a project’s parameters change after work has been initiated? Xxxxx Xxxxxxx answer- Because I am independent contractor, my process for addressing shifting timelines relies only my own ability to manage and adjust my current workload accordingly. While I have a significant amount of career experience working in conditions that often result in shifting deadlines, my current commitments (predominantly Dexx and the New River Valley Magazine - please reference my RFP response and my resume for details) have regimented timelines and deadlines that are known in advance. This allows me the flexibility to react in congruence with changing project parameters. Communication is imperative. I would want to have a clear understanding of the updated parameters and discuss openly and candidly both the new expectations and my availability to meet them. This conversation can be as simple as an email or phone call, or I am always happy to meet in person if the changes warrant more brainstorming or detailed discussions. I do not overpromise or underdeliver and because I do not otherwise have a full-time job, I am able to adjust "on-the-fly." My work for Virginia Tech would become a top priority.
Virginia Tech Question. What is your process for managing deadlines if/when a project’s parameters change after work has been initiated? Xxxxxxx Xxxx X Xxxxx answer- Because I keep a limited client base, I have never encountered a situation when I could not meet a client’s deadline. If a project’s parameters change, I talk to my clients as soon as possible to determine if the change would affect my ability to meet a previously established deadline. If so, I work with the client to revise the production schedule. However, if I believed that I adjusting to the changed parameters would sacrifice project quality, I would discuss that with the client before attempting the work. If meeting the previously agreed upon deadline would jeopardize my ability to meet prior commitments and the client could not agree to a revised production schedule, I would work encourage the client to consider options, such as my subcontracting the work or to seek another vendor.
