Re: [Bulk] Re: cost estimate for a GUI pilot

Hi, Nathan:

Thanks for that link -- an interesting article, not only in the context of "modernization" but really, for any project:

1. define clear goals or objectives ("how do we know when we are done?")
2. develop a plan (or "map" of "how to get there from here")
3. pay attention to the needs of the users
4. leverage the power of the IBM i platform (where appropriate, e.g.
for IT projects in an IBM i shop)
5. choose the right tool(s) for the job or task at hand

These general rules or guidelines should help to ensure the success of almost any project, even projects outside of "IT" such as a home renovation project, etc.

I just read the following article by Alex Roytman, CEO of Profound Logic,
and it reminded me of this discussion:

I felt it was appropriate for this discussion, because the author
delineates a series of steps which should precede the selection of tools,
in order to avoid pitfalls.
