Plan ahead. You know you are going to face frequent rankings or market reports - possibly when you least expect it. Keep your decks and demos current and compelling. Develop strong case studies to prove your success - not last minute! Tell your story and brief frequently. Stay on top of company statistics and metrics. And when that important RFI hits your inbox, immediately organize assignments- and in particular be clear about who your review owners are and ride the timeline to ensure that schedules and PTOs aren’t undermining your chances for success. Note: be sure your team is answering the analysts questions precisely, not what they “want” to answer. This can make a significant impact on your final score.

To ensure the success of an AR project despite constant client changes, I would take these steps: First, reassess the scope and clarify project priorities with the client, focusing on critical features. Implement a formal change management process to assess the impact of new requests on timelines and costs. Regular communication is key, so I’d establish frequent check-ins to align expectations. I’d also adopt an agile development approach, breaking the project into smaller sprints for flexibility. Building buffer time into the schedule helps absorb delays. Finally, documenting changes and involving key stakeholders in decision-making ensures transparency and keeps the project on track.

We were hired to create an AR design experience for a high-end restaurant in Los Angeles, visualizing every detail, from lighting to layout. Midway through, the client requested significant changes, constantly shifting their vision and asking to see different materials and finishes in real time. We responded by implementing an agile approach, prioritizing critical elements, and setting clear communication channels. With regular check-ins and a defined change management process, we kept the project on track. Buffer time allowed for last-minute adjustments, ensuring we delivered on time. The result was a unique, immersive space that exceeded client expectations.

As the owner of an AR development agency, I understand that constant client changes can jeopardize the project timeline. 1. To ensure success, we emphasize frequent communication with clients and adaptive planning. 2. Agile methodologies help us manage changes efficiently, allowing us to realign priorities while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.

An AR project or any development project (VR/movies/architecture/etc) should have a detailed project plan from the beginning. The making of this plan should involve all key stakeholders and give everyone ample time to review and give feedback. Ending with sign-off from all stakeholders. If designed correctly the project plan will allow you to sit down with the client and visually show them how the changes affect the timeline and budget. It is then up to them if they believe the changes are worth it. Go above and beyond when you can but don't put your team's sanity or project timeline/budget at risk if people didn't take the time to be part of the design process from the start.
