Client Communication Collaboration: our playbook for global teams
How we keep clients, engineers and stakeholders in sync across time zones, languages and cultures, and why it's now one of our collaboration programs.
Maria Santos
Head of Client Operations · ITeraLove
Most failed IT projects don't fail on technology. They fail on communication: a requirement that was misunderstood, a status update that never arrived, or a concern that went to the wrong person.
Client Communication Collaboration is our answer. We add a dedicated communication layer between a client and the people delivering their work.
What the program covers
- A named client liaison for every engagement, working in the client's time zone.
- Requirement capture. Every call produces written notes, decisions and open questions within 24 hours.
- Weekly status reports that cover progress, risks, and what we need from the client.
- Routing. Technical questions go to engineering, contract and billing questions to finance, and anything sensitive to security.
How a typical week looks
| Day | Activity | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Mon | Planning call and agreed priorities | Liaison + Tech lead |
| Wed | Async demo video or written update | Engineering |
| Fri | Status report and risk review | Liaison |
Rules we follow
- Write it down. If it isn't in the shared notes, it wasn't decided.
- Answer within one business day, even if the answer is "we're checking".
- No surprises. Bad news goes to the client early, together with a proposed fix.
- One voice. The client always knows who to talk to.
