Before you start building, create a blueprint ...

In construction it is usual to make a building plan before you lay the first stone. After all, you know what you get, and execution is faster due to the fact to possible bottlenecks have been considered upfront. No discussion about materials to be used, they fit for purpose.
Unfortunately ICT is often different. Especially in the world of MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) solutions are created without a building plan. The object itself usually works, however integration with other systems is a challenge. Modifications and extensions are difficult to apply, resulting in delays and budget overrun.
The good news is tools are available where specifications can be written in plain language! So easy and unambiguous construction drawings can be prepared. These tools solve the traditional business and ICT gap. So there is no more reason to skip the stage of the construction planning. The construction plan can be made fast, and the advantages are obvious.
