In Patty's own words:

"This presentation discusses the basic, initial analytical steps required for the creation of a successful IT project. Using the processes that the Facilities and Spatial Data Integration (FASDI) project followed, it will take you through the initial phases of a project creation -- when the analytical decisions you make up front will determine the successful implementation of your idea.

1. Design a plan: Create a solution-based idea (why and how)
2. Initiate the data project: How to identify needs and relevant data & identify the sets of data most likely to succeed
3. How & why to involve others: Why have a steering committee, or work groups, who should be on it
4. How to name the project: Why naming the project is so crucial, the problems with naming & how to use it as a tool
5. Pitch the idea & seek a champion: Presentations, sponsorship (why and how), what if you're not successful 6. Special concerns in today's environment: Conducting risk assessments, segment restricted and non restricted data
7. Learn from our mistakes (cautions): Enterprise systems in a departmental system, the Myth Good = Successful, and the effects of reorganizations to your plan."
