Focus upon communication is critical to a project’s success and significantly contributes to a better end product.

     • Design requirements must be described in a detailed
       specification.

     • Weekly status helps keep the customer informed of
       progress and all new issues.

     • Capture key design attributes in design “workbooks”
       as development proceeds.

     • Face-to-face design reviews allow for technical dialogue
       that validates the customer’s request and allows for
       improvements to be made.
