Clients will often come to you with a solution already envisioned and say something like, ”we need you to create a new landing page to promote our new product launch.” But let’s be honest for a second, clients don’t always know what is best for them. It’s our job as a designers and development consultant to provide strategic input and advice that will lead to the most appropriate solution for their needs — not simply accept what they suggest.

Begin by taking a step back from what they’re proposing, and try to identify the specific business or design problem they are trying to solve. Try to outline your client’s existing pain points and budding opportunities. This may lead you to discover alternative solutions more suitable for accomplishing their goals.

A core aspect of the scope that will impact your decision to take on a project will be its timeline. Don’t just ask your client when they expect to see a final product, but get them to identify any key dates or milestones leading up to that deadline. If you accept the project, these dates will be instrumental in creating a project schedule that keeps you and your team on track. On the other hand, you might compare the client’s timeline to your existing workload and decide you just don’t have the capacity to take it on.

Understanding the scope of a project will allow you to manage your team’s resources and your clients expectations from a job’s beginning to its completion.
