19.3. Reviewing and Tuning Your Strategy
We are ready to begin the next project cycle by taking everything we've learned during the project (about business priorities, customer expectations, and technology—all the elements of the original strategic plan) and testing that all our assumptions are the same as we get ready to launch the next project. As indicated in Figure 19-2, we will repeat the same process that we've done before, but hopefully we'll be a little better at it each time.

I want to make one more point: You don't have to wait until one project is completely finished before starting the next one, in fact that is rarely the case. You just need to be sure that use whatever you have learned from one to tune the next. Still, it's best to finish the first project completely.
We've finished one complete cycle and are starting the next. The process will remain the same except for any improvements we've identified and adopted. Now let's take a look at how we keep all this great new stuff humming along. Even more important, in Chapter 20 we'll look at another good way to improve project ROI business results: managing data quality.
