Before Starting A SharePoint Project

Clarify the following with the relevant stakeholders and team when starting a SharePoint project:

1) Purpose and justification.

2) Measurable objectives.

3) Deliverables.

4) Acceptance criteria.

5) Critical success factors.

6) Constraints and assumptions.

7) Proposed budget and schedule goals.

Real working thought:

It’s important to have a realistic scope in regard to what a SharePoint project will encompass and output. I've been a member of a few projects where the scope was not realistic and on one occasion needed new technology to be built until the proper outcome could be met. This therefore led to potential cost overruns in the budget.
