While working on that, you will also be working with the client to ensure that the client sees constant progress in their project, understands where the project is in the overall time-line and schedule, and negotiate customer expectations and ensure that the customer approves the deliverables. You will be working with the sales and marketing teams to assist with estimating costs and time-lines. Finally, you will be working with internal stakeholders to report the progress of your projects and communicate any needs, delays, or expectations for your projects.
