quick principle to keep in mind: complexity dictates formality. A small $500 project for a small business might only require a simple email agreement and a quick invoice. But as the client's size and engagement complexity increase, so should your level of process, documentation, and structure. You should have this plan prepared ahead of signing the contract, and then after the kickoff, you can customize it depending on what you heard from the client.
