Meeting with all stakeholders - We ensure that all-important people are aware of what we are planning to do. Everyone should have the opportunity to raise their voice. We record and document our meetings to make sure there is no room for misunderstanding.
Confirm scope - The very important topic, which will guarantee we list the exact items that will be delivered.
Define success criteria - You need to know if we succeeded, so clearly defined criteria for success or failure is a key part of this process.
Define risks - Every project has some risks! We know about this and plan the mitigation. We list all possible risks and have a backup plan in case something is not going as expected.

Planning

Business process review - Once requirements are ready, both parties should review the process. This will provide you with confidence that we will deliver each step in an organized fashion.
