• From David Dean's presentation: Heilmeier’s Catechism
  • What are you trying to do ? Articulate your objectives using no jargon.
  • How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice ?
  • What's new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful ?
  • Who cares ? If you're successful, what difference will it make ?
  • What are the risks and the payoffs ?
  • How much will it cost ?
  • How long will it take ?
  • What are the midterm and final "exams" to check for success ?
