Milestone Based Approach Notes
Step 1: Break Project into Milestones
  • Divide the project into small percentages (10%, 25%, 50%, 100%)
  • Each milestone has:
Never wait till 100% to judge quality.
🔹 Step 2: First Draft = Editor Evaluation
  • Ask the editor for a quick draft
  • Even 10 seconds of edited footage is enough to judge:
This decides whether the editor is eligible to continue.
🔹 Step 3: Communication Before Work Starts
Always talk to the editor and confirm:
  • Estimated total time for the project
  • Exact delivery date
  • When they will start working
  • Total hours required
  • Their understanding of the edit requirements
Clarity before work = fewer problems later.
🔹 Step 4: Request Initial 10% Edit
Ask for:
  • First 10% of the project
  • Apply all agreed editing elements:
📌 Set a strict deadline for this milestone.
🔹 Step 5: Review & Feedback
  • Review the 10% edit carefully
  • Provide clear, actionable feedback
  • Corrections at this stage take very little time
  • Once aligned, rest of the project becomes smooth
🔹 Step 6: Confirm Capability Early
If you notice issues in:
  • Time management
  • Speed
  • Quality
  • Understanding
👉 Re-explain expectations clearly👉 Confirm honestly if the editor can handle it👉 Decide early — don’t delay the decision
🧠 Project Control Principles
  • Small milestones = big control
  • Early feedback = time saved
  • Clear communication = quality output
🔑 Final Rule
Control the project at 10%, not at 100%.That’s how professionals scale without stress.
