OUR PROJECT WITH CASA DA CRIANÇA

 CASA DA CRIANÇA

We were first introduced to the CASA DA CRIANÇA’ project a couple of weeks before we left home during our pre-work stage . We were lucky to have had several calls with our Client and translator Laura . During our first week here we have spent  most of the time on the 'Definition stage' -  listening to our Client , understanding their organisation , discussing their needs , defining the barriers and asking the Client key questions to ensure that we have fully understood their  current organisation and challenges. 


Today we have succeeded in working together with our Client to complete and agree on our 'Statement Of Work' . This was a great milestone for us !!   

Objective of Assignment
