2. Establish phases and tasks to better manage systems development projects.

Principle 3

3. Systems development tasks are not strictly sequential. They can overlap. Also, you may need to backtrack to correct mistakes.

Principle 4

4. Systems are capital investments. They should be economically justified as such.

Principle 5

5. Establish checkpoints to reevaluate feasibility, and don't be afraid to cancel infeasible projects despite sunk costs.

Principle 6
