Points to recognise
and avoid
Need good project management
(juggle time, money & workforce/equipment to get the task done)

  Use the right equipment & tools

  Study similar projects around the world
and do not repeat the same problems.

  Have a clear plan and follow it.
Be prepared to change the plan if glaring errors need fixing

  Don't compromise too far
so the outcome does not work

  Take care with the easiest and cheapest solution.
Ensure that it works well, for the planned life of the project

  Consider more automation for known repeatability
and to avoid staff shortage issues.

  Monitor more than just the 'squeaky wheels'
Gather data from /observe many sources for long term trends.

  Get priorities right.
Rank the incoming information for immediate action.

 

Give clear instructions.
Do not rely on people to seek out the info they need.

  Complete change at the same time needs astute strategies.
Step-by-step evolution maybe better than revolution.

  Make people responsible for their part of the whole program.
Monitor and guide those people.
