How Do You Manage Client Projects Smoothly?

Hey everyone :wave:

Between client feedback loops, overlapping deadlines, and version chaos, keeping design projects organized can be a real juggling act. I’ve been managing multiple clients lately, and it feels like half my day goes into tracking who approved what, which file version is final, and what’s waiting for feedback.

I’m curious how others here handle it. Do you rely on spreadsheets and emails to stay on top of everything, or do you use a proper project management setup with boards, timelines, or calendars?

Another thing I’ve struggled with is managing revisions efficiently. Clients often have last-minute changes, and keeping that synced with the rest of the team can get messy fast. How do you manage approvals and handoffs without losing the creative flow?

Would love to know what systems or tools you’ve found actually help balance creativity with organization. Is there a method or workflow that’s worked especially well for your studio or freelance setup?

I am not an expert in this area but you can find some answers here (YouTube) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9skzyzM3izE

When you say “team” how many people are you talking about?
And how many different “teams” are you talking about?

We just use Dropbox and email.
(and based on your other post, why do I think you are suddenly going to find something everyone should use? :rofl:)

Are you aware of the share function in Acrobat? That’s been around awhile and solves most of the problems you describe.
