What I learned from the project: The most valuable lesson I learned was not to promise a client what you are not sure you can do. This can create a great deal of stress for you and your teammates. If you promise it, and in the end can not succeed, it is you who has to go to the client and tell them. This could be embarrassing. I learned a great deal from Shirley, who is a very organized, detailed oriented, talented, and follows through with excellent end results, person. Through seeing the reports and project results from others, I learned a lot of information that will go with me as a freelancer.the
