Why are project-based roles inherently easier for employers to support with flexible arrangements compared to roles requiring continuous coverage?

Because the employer can focus evaluation on the completion of defined outputs rather than the necessity of constant presence during set times.

The text distinguishes between roles that are easily adaptable and those that are not based on the fundamental nature of the required output. Project-based or results-oriented jobs are structured around discrete deliverables, such as completing a defined sprint in software development or finishing a specific report. This structure allows the employer to measure success by the delivery of the defined item by the deadline. In contrast, roles demanding continuous coverage or frequent, in-person client interaction necessitate that an individual be physically or virtually present during established operational hours, severely limiting the employer's ability to grant open schedule control.
