No matter what method you use to plan a project, it is beneficial to follow some specific guidelines from the onset to arrive at a final product that is informative, relevant, and effective. Use some aspects of these guidelines every time you undertake a project, and others as needed in specific instances.

b$)$ Begin to draft ideas of how best to communicate information by handwriting ideas on paper; composing directly on a laptop, tablet, or mobile device; or developing a strategy that fits your particular thinking and writing style.

Analyze your audience.

a$)$ Learn about the people who will read, analyze, or view your work.

b$)$ Determine their interests and needs so that you can present the information they need to know and omit the information they already possess.
