13. Understanding your
Freelance Developer
Prefers to work from their own premises for various reasons
◦ Avoid traffic jams and stressful long hours on the road
◦ Be close to family and children by working from home
◦ Own environment is perfectly set up to their needs and comfort, may not
adjust well to extended stays at your office, which may impact on performance.
◦ Utilizes time management practices, especially when working on a project.
Beware of time slots assigned to checking email, answering calls and makes
every effort to adhere to them wherever possible. Your freelancer is as reliant
on your effective communication as you are on him delivering professional,
timely and accurate work.
Your project is the freelancer’s bread and butter. A freelancer is driven to
complete projects to the best of their ability. This mindset is not only to
ensure their work will be paid by the due date of project completion, but is
mostly focused on the satisfaction of the client, the possibility of securing a
call back for future projects as well as a positive referral through your
company to potential clients.
Most freelancers don’t need to be managed. But all freelancers need clear
communication. Unambiguous instructions.
Freelancers are human. Not just a number or the hired ‘outsider’. Treat
them as part of your team, and encourage them to be involved in your team
so they are given the opportunity to know and understand in the fullest the
end result to be presented from the project you’ve assigned to them and
know which channels are to be used throughout each phase of any project.

project.
Give everything in writing. This creates a paper trail, and allows for
accountability when projects are delayed or over budget.
Make sure that your developer understands his assigned tasks(s). This could
save money later when mistakes could be very expensive to fix.
Know what you want upfront, indecisiveness adds to costs and frustrations. If
you are indecisive, then keep development cycles as small as possible.
