Without a framework for project initiation, it’s easy to get lost in all the tasks that you need to finish before the project can start.

The oldest advice in risk management is this little ditty: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" It's obvious on its face: if you drop the one basket, you may lose all the eggs in just one accident.
