 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Created the business case
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Identified the project manager
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Defined the team (at least for the first iteration)
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Put in place the development environment (including tools and infrastructure)
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Prepared your organization to follow the&nbsp;<a class="elementLink"
