Project Management

Direct communication and Proactive problem solving.

Our PMs are trained to surface risk early, resolve it with the right people, and keep work moving without creating avoidable rework.

Our PM Playbook in a nutshell

Communication that keeps delivery moving

We default to calls and chat when it’s faster than email — and we document decisions. That shortens cycles, prevents misunderstandings, and keeps projects from getting stuck in slow inbox back-and-forth.

Transparency by design

Project communication and issues raised by linguists are visible to stakeholders through a shared project platform. PMs don’t gatekeep problems — they escalate and coordinate attention early, so issues don’t surface only at the deadline.

Proactive issue handling

When stakeholder feedback conflicts, we treat it as a decision problem, not a politics problem. We surface the contradiction, propose options, and push for resolution that protects quality instead of quietly choosing the easiest path.

Managing delays without creating rework

When approvals stall, we push gently, wait patiently, and continue only where it’s reasonably safe. If missing sign-off would predictably cause rework, we pause and escalate options rather than producing into uncertainty — unless the client explicitly accepts the tradeoff.

Continuity when people drop out

If someone becomes unavailable, we replace deliberately rather than patching blindly. Reviewers can be swapped quickly; translator replacements are aligned to the existing style first and may be introduced through review before taking over production, so continuity holds.

Automation without dogma

We introduce automation strategically where it reduces friction (documentation, summaries, handoffs), but we avoid rigid top-down enforcement that contradicts real workflows. PMs are encouraged to use what works — the goal is speed with control, not process theatre.

Delivery that matches your file reality

We deliver back in the structure you provided (appended by language/locale), or in a mutually agreed default structure. This keeps internal handoffs clean and prevents avoidable confusion after delivery.

Project Management and Linguistic Assets

Assets aren’t built once — they live and evolve in production.

Linguistic Asset Management is its own discipline, but Project Management is where it becomes real in day-to-day delivery. PMs capture terminology decisions, style and tone preferences, and recurring issues as they happen — and feed approved updates back into glossaries, guides, and translation memories. That reduces rework, prevents drift, and makes each project easier than the last.
