My point to 1️⃣ Clear Requirements - we need to talk about them with the customer. And we need to ask OPEN questions. We need to be curious and to ask curious questions. We need to empty our cup before. We need to expect nothing.
2️⃣ and 3️⃣ - undoubtedly, only renowed manufacturers should be on our radar. Plus, Active components. Forget NRND, Obsolete or EOL.
6️⃣ Ease of integration - it easier to say that to get it done. Each system is different. Each project is different. We need to make three steps backwords to make four steps forward afterwards. It's a painful process sometimes.
7️⃣ Scalability is perfect. I prefer optimisation. I love to start big and to cut useless or dispensable features. Even customer sometimes finds what seemed to be crucial at the beginning is useless in later project phases.
Very correct. Designer ought to know these, before embarking on a large scale project
Before any project. Even the smallest project can be screwed easily.
