Start back at the estimation. Who or how do they think its 2 hours? I suggest to offer to "backlog groom" these estimates so the person that's actually going to do the work is providing the estimate. You can fairly be managed this way. If they don't like the estimates, welcome input or clarification. Take a collaborative tone here. Start the conversation of this new approach by saying something like. We seem to be drifting apart on hours and expectations. I have come up with some strategies with my colleagues and would like to propose... If this doesn't work - time for a new client. If you need the cash and can't just quit. Make sure expectations are clear at all points in writing when you have warned them of the estimate and the actual hours. Keep this in the freelancing platform so you have room for debate if they stuff you on hours. Finally get approves on the tasks after you estimate. They might not have the money - they need to come to terms with this at each 5-7 hour block. Good luck! |
