A quick criticality analysis at the start of a system, application, or process you undertake could save you quite a bit of time and trouble down the road. These days, apps make almost everything easier, including criticality assessments.

Stephen Coates gives an overview of good criticality assessments and the tools you can use to assure the best outcome of a project.
