It’s very important to start project right from the very beginning. This is true not only in software development sphere. But in IT project the wrong start can lead to collapse of the whole project..

Here are some common mistakes that project managers perform starting the project:

1. Being TOO optimistic.

2. Give in to customer pressure

3. Plan quickly (usually together with #2)

4. Forget about connections and interdependencies between different stages of the software development project. For example, the functional design is not finished when the team is ready to start software development.

5. Perform the wrong plan anyway…

If you start your project wrong, it will continue to go wrong. Right up to the end.
