Best Pratctices for Successfully Project

Some thoughts regarding running IT project successfully.
1. Major stakeholder involvement, and communication with development team.

    What do you think, can all the requirements can be visualized in a developer's mind at design time.

  2. It is hard to visualize all the requirements in a developer's or group developer's mind. Actually it is hard to collect all the requirements in one shot or multiple shots before design time. This is the reason why we need agile method, we do not need to have all the requirements during design time, but we need to build a flex application structure, which can be changed when new requirements come into picture or existing requirement changed.
