Working with client appointed project managers

The client says, "It's a good idea to have someone responsible for the project from our side. Sam will be responsible. I'd like you to work with Sam, and he will report to me on progress from time to time."
Is this helpful?

Sam is almost certainly less powerful than the client and you will also want to assess where the project fits in Sam's priorities. Try to avoid Sam becoming the gatekeeper between you and the client and arrange progress review meetings with the client at which you and Sam are both present.
