Obtaining Agreement on Project Goals
One of the best ways to garner support for your design decisions is to involve coworkers, bosses, and clients in the planning process. The easiest way to do this is to fill out a Project Planning Worksheet in their presence. By including clients and coworkers in the planning process, you’re ensuring their “buy-in,” which will eliminate potential problems later.
