DC: September WordPress Meetup - Managing WP Clients & Projects

September’s theme is project and client management. Ryan will lead a walkthrough of how he uses Asana as a project management and communication hub, to document and plan all aspects along the lifecycle of a website. Free templates and resources will be shared to help you get started tracking the milestones of a web launch, ongoing content editorial calendar, and documentation for ongoing site maintenance. While the focus is on client projects, the concepts and tools can be applied to a wide variety of use cases, both for team collaboration and solo projects.
