Do you know the numbers you give clients?

When working on an hourly basis, you can confuse clients when sometimes you try to talk about a few hours here and a few hours here or there.

Simply things and just give them these 3 numbers:

|

$ Billed to date	__$xx__(accurate on Tuesday)
Burndown Days Remaining	__8__
Calendar Days Booked	__4days x 2__
Next meeting (for Review and Retro)
