Final Thoughts

Envisioning goes beyond project initiation. Initiation conjures an image of administration, of budgets and detailed schedules. And though these artifacts may be necessary, they need to flow from a well-articulated, discussed, and agreed-on vision. The four components of vision were expressed as questions early in this chapter:

• What is the product vision?

• What are the project objectives and its constraints?

• Who will be included in the project community?

• How will the team deliver the product?
