Is Fully Automated Solution Possible?
• Depending on who you ask….
• Depending on what you consider is good output….
• WYSIWYG?
• Is it more reliable than hand-tagging?

“If I had eight hours to chop down a tree,I'd spend six sharpening my ax.”
Planning
• Things you must know:
• Who are the stakeholders? Who is the real client (they have to take part in the process)?
• Budget.
• Schedule (or at least know major milestones & completion date).
• CSDB, IETM, sustainment tools.
• Things you need:
• Legacy data, business rules, schemas, samples.
• The “right people”. It’s a team work.
• Things to do:
• QA plan
• Agree on rules.
• Have samples before moving forward.
• Pilot and/or Limited Production Run.
