Summary

In this chapter, you have read about how to define a project. Asking the right questions of the right people can create an environment for success. Managing the scope, risks, and constraints of a project depend on a mutually agreed-upon baseline. If you skip this phase, your project will surely run over in time, quality, scope, or cost, if not all four. A little time at the beginning can save a tremendous amount of time and stress later. In the exercise below, you can practice the techniques you just read about on your own project.
