Also not every client wants a ton of consultants showing up. It makes people nervous.

They could alternate who's there so there's at least a few people there to make their presence known. What are they doing now- making everyone show up?

Leadership may just want the team together too

If you're a lead on the engagement, explain to EP that this is a good chance to let many from the team get a break from all the travel, save the client a ton of money, and demonstrate to client that you all get work done even when nobody is babysitting them. But you have to make sure you can deliver on all that when folks are remote.

I am finishing up a project and I’m trying to document what I’ve done for my resume. What are some good metrics for someone who mainly created user stories, created dashboards, interacted with the client and developed statistical models? One of my dashboards got deployed to production but it’s to early to see the impact. My other dashboards are almost done but I’m moving on to something else.
