Dividing your project into milestones can be very helpful for keeping the work organized and maintaining better control over each stage of the process.
You can include the milestones directly in the project description or share them with the professional through the platform’s messaging system.
🎯 To make it clearer, here’s a simple example.
For a logo design project, you could organize the work into the following stages:
Milestone #1: Presentation of 6 concept proposals (30%)
Milestone #2: First round of revisions to the selected concept (30%)
Milestone #3: Second round of revisions to the selected concept (30%)
Milestone #4: Final delivery of the logo in all agreed formats (10%)
This way, when the professional presents the 6 concept options included in Milestone #1, you can review the delivery and, once you are satisfied with the work, approve it and release only the 30% of the funds allocated to that stage.
You can then repeat the same process for each milestone, approving the delivery and releasing the corresponding funds as you move through the project until the work is complete.
It’s very simple. This way, you can keep your project better organized, while the professional will have a clear understanding of what needs to be delivered at each stage and when the corresponding funds will be released.
But remember: once you release the funds, they are no longer covered by Workana’s guarantee.
That’s why, before approving a delivery and releasing the funds, make sure you’ve reviewed the work and are satisfied with what you received. 😉
