In order to use methods to get a successful result, time planning and researching the energy topic is the most important preparatory work that needs to be done. By discussing the priorities, the possible methods that will be used in the following process, the team is able to schedule their activities.
For instance, researching the topic is going to take many hours so using time efficiently is important from the beginning. Literature review will be included during the whole project but it is reasonable to take more time in the beginning for it. A timeline will give the group a good overview and provide the client, with a better understanding on what will be delivered as well as milestone events.
