Birdviewpsa Client Onboarding Sprint (7-10 days)

A repeatable onboarding sprint that moves a client from spreadsheet chaos to a configured Birdviewpsa workspace with AI-assisted planning, resource matching, and QuickBooks invoicing in under two weeks.

Prerequisites
  • Client has an active Birdviewpsa account on the Team plan ($24 per user per month, annual billing) or higher, with admin access for the agency
  • A signed statement of work that defines the pilot project scope and billable rate structure
  • QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, or Slack credentials ready for integration (at least one required for the handoff workflow)
  • A list of client team members with roles, skills, and availability for resource matching
  • Access to the client's existing project templates or a sample project to model the first workflow
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create the agency's Birdviewpsa instance and configure company profile, billing rates, and user roles
  • 2.Set up client user accounts and assign permissions for project managers, contributors, and guests (up to 20 on Lite, unlimited on Team)
  • 3.Review built-in templates and select the closest match for the client's service delivery model
  • 1.Configure the first client workflow: input project details, resource availability, and required skills
  • 2.Use the AI Project Plan Assistant to auto-generate a work breakdown structure from the project name
  • 3.Manually refine the WBS to match client specifics and set up time tracking and expense categories
  • 1.Build resource workload views and match team members by role and availability
  • 2.Set up project budgeting tools and configure billable rate cards per role
  • 3.Test the AI forecasting feature to validate completion date predictions against the client's timeline

  • 2.Integrate Salesforce or HubSpot to hand off leads from sales to delivery without manual re-entry
  • 3.Configure Slack notifications for project updates and approvals
  • 1.Set up the client portal for collaboration and approvals, and brand it as far as Birdviewpsa allows (note: portal displays Birdviewpsa branding)
  • 2.Create custom dashboards and reports for project status, resource utilization, and budget vs actuals
  • 3.Configure automated intake forms to capture new project requests
  • 1.Run a live training session for the client team on daily task management, Gantt and Kanban views, and time tracking
  • 2.Document the workflow in a client-specific playbook with screenshots of their Birdviewpsa instance
  • 3.Set up a sandbox project for the client to practice without affecting live data
  • 1.Conduct a pilot run with the client's first live project and monitor for issues
  • 2.Review time tracking accuracy and adjust expense categories or billing rates as needed
  • 3.Collect feedback from the client team on usability and refine the workflow
  • 1.Finalize the client portal configuration and test the approval workflow end to end
  • 2.Verify that invoices generated in Birdviewpsa sync correctly to QuickBooks and match the client's billing terms
  • 3.Set up recurring reports for weekly status updates and monthly financial summaries
  • 1.Hand over admin credentials and deliver the final documentation package
  • 2.Schedule a 30-day check-in to review adoption metrics and address any gaps
  • 3.Provide a recorded walkthrough of the AI Project Plan Assistant and resource matching for future reference
  • 1.Close out the sprint with a summary report of configured features, integrations, and training completed
  • 2.Invoice the client for the onboarding sprint (fixed fee, separate from Birdviewpsa subscription)
  • 3.Collect a testimonial or case study permission for the agency's marketing
$2,250 to $4,500 for the agency's setup fee, plus client's Birdviewpsa subscription at $24 per user per month (Team plan, annual billing) for 5-100 users7-10 days
ROI Logic

The agency charges a fixed onboarding fee of $2,250 to $4,500, while the client's Birdviewpsa cost is only $24 per user per month on the Team plan. For a 10-person client team, that's $240 per month in software cost against a one-time setup fee that covers 20-40 hours of agency work. The agency's margin comes from productizing the sprint: the same 10-day playbook can be repeated for each new client with minimal customization, turning a service into a scalable retainer add-on.

Deliverables
  • Configured Birdviewpsa workspace with client-specific project templates, custom workflows, and resource workload views
  • AI-generated work breakdown structure for the pilot project, refined and documented
  • Integration setup for QuickBooks, Salesforce/HubSpot, and Slack with tested data flows
  • Client portal configured for collaboration and approvals, with branding limitations noted
  • Training playbook and recorded walkthrough for the client team
Definition of Done

The client's team is actively tracking time and managing at least one live project in Birdviewpsa, with invoices syncing to QuickBooks and the client portal approved for use.
