  11. Application Askquestions relevant to the innovationprocess whatis the problemandwhoisaffected? whatis the overallgoalof the project?(not the detailedoutcome) whyisn‘t the problemsolvedyet? Be open to new solutions! Keep the processopenandfocus on the project design(not on the detailedsteps) whichmethodsareusedand ho isinvolved? definemilestones/keyresultsfor the first 6 months(not a detailedwork plan) Estimatedcosts in total
