Shouldn’t be choice over a permanent employee capable and experienced in your business.

Beneficial choice in many circumstances, but not all of them

Proper knowledge transfer is essential to equip your staff that “stay behind”

Freelance programmers generally work from their own premises and not on site as opposed to a permanent employee who could step in immediately to resolve a situation/backlog/paperwork filed, etc.

Good communication is essential with a freelancer to enable them to understand projects or requirements Can you avail yourself is the question to ask when

your freelancer needs to get an answer or needs something specific you have to authorise/change/test/approve?


Understanding yourUnderstanding your

Freelance DeveloperFreelance 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.

Freelance DeveloperFreelance Developer Respect your freelancer’s time, even if you are paying for it. Communicate in clear unambiguous language. Keep in touch, don’t waste time over-communicating. Share your wishes and goals as well as project objectives and

intricacies, pitfalls and risks throughout the entire project as soon as the need for that arises.

Minimize midway changes. accept that any changes will impact on the completion date, and

cost of the 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.
