- Assess the current content to define appropriate content to convert, reuse, rewrite, or leave behind.

- List the functional aspects of the technology needed to support the content management vision.
- List and compare the different categories of tools available for information development teams.
- Define the scope for a successful pilot project.
- Examine metrics collected in the pilot project and use results to inform the direction of the enterprise rollout.
