For example, step 8 talks about user involvement. Obviously this would be something that would recur throughout the project. But I think it's a pretty good checklist. We find in our conversations with end users that the thing that usually sinks a project is not being deliberate enough on the front end in clearing defining the business requirements, the technical requirements and how the project aligns with business priorities.
