As was discussed previously, you need to identify the problem to be solved by project.
It helps to visualize the desired end result. What will be different? What will you see,
hear, taste, touch, or smell? (use sensory evidence if things can´ t be quantified.)
What client need is being satisfied by the project?

DEVELOP SOLUTION OPTIONS
How many different ways might you go about solving the problem? Brainstorm
solution alternatives, which do you think will best solve the problem? It is more or
less costly than other suitable choices? Will it result in a compete or only a partial fix?
PLAN THE PROJECT
Planning is answering questions-what must be done, by whom, for how much, how,
when, and do on,. Naturally, answering these questions often requires a crystal ball.
We discuss these steps more detail in chapters 2 through 4

EXECUTE THE PLAN
Obvious. Once the plan is drafted, it must be implemented. Interestingly, we
sometimes find that people go to great effort to put together a plan, then fail to follow
it. If a plan is not followed, there is not much point in planning, is there?
