| Communication | Choose the channel, contact person and response expectations. Record how urgent issues should be escalated. | The communication record, its source and the person responsible for resolving missing evidence. |
| First milestone | Define the first deliverable the customer or manager can review and the evidence needed to accept it. | The first milestone record, its source and the person responsible for resolving missing evidence. |
