How will we know if the project is successful? Or what are our expectations for the project? What do we need to look for that would signal that we need to change course with the project? Should we change course, what should we build into the proposal that would mitigate the risk of this course change? What actions are needed today (or at some point in the project) to allow for a course change? What do these actions cost, who is responsible for the decision, and when do we want to do the post audit appraisal
