Project Definition
Every Web project should begin with a thorough examination of customer requirements and project goals. This project definition document can then used to guide the design process and evaluate possible technical and visual solutions. A good product definition document does not have to be long, however it should include:

A customer definition which answers questions like: who is the Web project for?; what are their goals and needs?; and more. Interviewing potential users, conducting a survey, or using profiles and scenarios are all good ways to accumulate customer data.

Product requirements that detail what your Web solution needs to accomplish for you. Technology requirements and limitations should also be considered.

Product research may include an evaluation of an existing product or a comparison of similar systems.

-Jesse James Garrett, 2002

“True interactivity is not about clicking on icons or downloading files, it’s about encouraging communication.”
