Specify the due date of project deliverables. This will give clear expectations that lead to less confusion, and a higher likelihood that your project will be delivered on time, on budget and to the satisfaction of the client.
Understand the what, when and why of the project and its due dates. This involves clear communication, and results in a realistic schedule that should satisfy the requirements of the client and your team’s ability to deliver it.
Due dates are often not set clearly. Be specific with time based language. Specify the date and time something is due. This will reduce misunderstandings on when things are due.
