Project scope document - a written definition of the project scope and is usually no longer than a paragraph.

Project plan - defines the what, when, and who questions of system development including all activities to be performed, the individuals, or resources, who will perform the activities, and the time required to complete each activity.

Project milestones - represent key dates for which you need a certain group of activities performed. Project manager - Identify the project manager. An individual who is an expert in project planning and management, defines and develops the project plan and tracks the plan to ensure all key project milestones are completed on time.

User requirements analysis - Requires end users and IT specialists to work together to gather, understand, and document the business requirements for the proposed system.
