Project management

1. initial stage involving receipt of the source material from the client either by e-mail or through our on-line translation request form and analysis of the source text (along with discussing preferential terminology or TM usage with client)
2. planning stage including the process of project team building (choosing the most appropriate and project-specific translators, proofreaders and consultants) and scheduling the work process together with fixing the project milestones to control the work status for keeping to the deadlines
3. preparation of the source material (for further use with CAT-tools, if necessary), layout preparation.
4. main stage involving the allocation of assignments between the project team members, coordination of their work as per the scheduled milestones, monitoring the process of glossary/TM creation and updating and providing all project team members with updated glossaries/TM to ensure consistency at the early stage, providing the team members with consultants where necessary.
5. final stage involving product on-time delivery, getting client's feedback, review of client's comments and organisation of corrective measures where necessary.

Moreover, Avanta Translating offers a project tracking option (New). What does this mean?

It is also possible to get an immediate response through instant messaging.
