Freelance Project Management
Run Client Projects Like a Pro Without a Project Management Department
About this course
Freelancers carry every project role at once: salesperson, project manager, and the person who does the actual work. Without a system, deliverables slip, scope quietly expands, and clients fill the silence with anxious check-ins. This course teaches the small set of project management techniques that actually move the needle for solo professionals, from a one-page work-breakdown and a Kanban board with work-in-progress limits to buffered estimates, a fixed status cadence, and a revision process that keeps rework finite. Every lesson ends with a concrete habit or artifact, so you finish with a complete, lightweight operating system for running client projects on time and on scope.
