This document outlines the steps of a project process from conception to completion. It begins by establishing the purpose and constraints of the project to define a clear vision and desired outcome. It then discusses defining success criteria and focus to guide decision making and motivation. The next steps involve brainstorming all potential features without filtering for quality, followed by organizing the ideas by identifying significant pieces, sorting by priority and sequence, and detailing to the appropriate level of granularity. The final stage is to implement the plan, ensure objectives are reached, follow up, clean up, and determine if incomplete aspects should be abandoned or postponed.
