Work terms:My payment methodology will correspond to Guru's parameters. No surprises.





Rates vary based on the scope, duration and daily level of involvement required on the project.






Communication protocols are established via a Communication Plan at the beginning of each project. Your unique needs, time zone and other relative factors will influence the specifics of our plan. And as specified above, my rate will also be tied in to the density and frequency of our communications. With most clients, I respond to phone calls ASAP, emails within the hour and can turn around documentation reviews, etc. within a business day. Virtual collaboration services are available: wikis, videoconferencing, a variety of document repositories (with version control), etc.






Project management is a key component of my practice. Every project will include a detailed project schedule which we will review regularly as the project progresses.





Willing to travel on-site globally, provided expenses are covered appropriately, per our agreement.
