• InspirationAn idea in the form of a question
Outcome of answering the question: increase knowledge base and /or result in new
applications/solutionsFeasibility: is it doable with the available
resources?

• A PlanA step by step road map designed to answer
the original question (s)A list of specific methods and techniques
needed for implementing the planAn alternative strategy (s) to circumvent
putative problems
Not having a plan is planning for failure
