Planning for Success – How to implement successful CAD projects

"I keep six honest serving men; They taught me all I knew; Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who” - Rudyard Kipling

The constant bombardment of marketing materials from the CAD vendors leads us to believe a solution is available out of the box and on too many occasions we jump straight into implementing our idea without due consideration of Why we are doing it, What it is we need to do, How it needs to be done, When it can be done, Who will do it and who it affects, and even Where it needs to be done.
