To better organize your projects and track their profitability, you can break them down into sections.

1 - Commercial Phase
βοΈ Tasks:
Discovery call
Prepare/send quote
Contract + quote signing
2 - Project Launch
βοΈ Tasks:
Prepare/Send deposit invoice
Define budget/costs/time/schedule
Kick-off meeting
3 - Project Monitoring
βοΈ Tasks
Meeting with client β "call" type
Create/send deliverables
