That has been my thought as well,
hopefully there could be a wikipedia page
with something like the ' top 100 priorities for new projects"
and its inverse 'the top 100 mistakes for new projects'.
Human tendency is to oversimplify such things
to a 'top ten' list but ten is just an advertising gimmick
aimed at people who are mentally couch-surfing.

Surely there are thousands of such caveats and recommendations,
but if they could be sifted to a manageable view -by priority-
then the business world could probably advance quit a bit.

Google (and duckduckgo) is not much help for this concept.

This is a concept only barely recognized at linkedin [2015 june 05]
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/twent...roject-kerzner

because mainstream linkedin folk are always touting
'my fix is the big fix you never heard of and need me to tell you'
rather than trying to sift and prioritize and then rank.

Any real business folk prefer to be able to scan lists
sorted by importance rather than dig through a
endlessly redecorated Hodge-podge regurgitation of randomly remembered cliches.

Why is this important ?
Aside from such obvious problems like Jolla, neo900,
Pyra and others, I have to go through this with my own projects.

That the concept is brought up here shows at least we recognize herewith the neo900
just how easy it is to fail and how difficult it is to actually create something from scratch,
without the awesome infrastructure of an already profitable existing organization such as Nokia, Google or Apple.

{Not to mention that I also am currently mapping out a new project}
