The communication contract
Every project gets:
- One channel. Either email or a private project board. You pick at kick-off.
- One weekly update. Written, sent Thursday by 17:00 GMT. Covers what shipped, what is in progress, what is blocked.
- One synchronous call per milestone. 30–45 minutes. Booked at least 48 hours ahead.
- One point of contact. A single project lead. You do not get passed around.
What we don't do
- Slack as the primary channel (too noisy, hard to audit)
- WhatsApp for project work
- Daily standups
- Ad-hoc calls without an agenda
Response windows
- Project messages: within one business day
- Quote requests: within one business day
- Final-week launch issues: within four business hours during the operating window
