Mavenlink Blog Posts

Earlier this month, our CEO Ray Grainger had a guest contribution on GigaOM's WebWorkerDaily. He discusses how the landscape of the workforce is changing as seemingly everything is moving online and becoming geographically dispersed. In addition, he covers 7 tips for building a successful team of freelancers.

Here are Ray's seven tips:

1. Set rules for the project, timelines and budget.

2. Create a collaborative online work environment.

3. Manage documents and conversations in a single place.

4. Stay on top of hours throughout the project lifecycle.

5. Accept changes.

6. Link invoicing to actual project management.

7. Offer career development and other services.

Make sure to visit WebWorkerDaily to read the post in full.
