The key to a successful project is clarity between all stakeholders. You have the client, the user, the designer and the developer. Each has completely different ways of thinking. Your goal is to compile a series of documents that every single stakeholder can understand. This transparency results in more questions asked by each stakeholder from their unique viewpoint.
