Since Murphey2 got the ad in first I will suggest:-
First plan the initiation:
1. figure out who wants it redeveloped and who is paying for it (not often the same person/role)
2. get an idea of who else is involved
3. hold a risk workshop with the key players to figure out where the business risks are
4. Your main risk at this point is probably "what are the requirements?" - ie: WHY are you redeveloping
5. Get a good, solid, list of testable requirements together so that the technical people can assess *their* risks
6. At this point you are ready to start planning - anything before this will be guesswork so don't fall into the trap of coming up with a plan that someone will hold you to later when you don't even know where to start

Hi egovernment,
All that is already said is true. Helps you to plan and start a project. Make sure and make clear to all stakeholders that a good project is not always the one that results in new software. If you all come to the conclusion e.g. at bullet 4 of Regmigrant that there is no need for re-dev. Than you are ready quite fast, and actually can say that you succeeded with your project.
Document Management System? Are you sure you want to develop something? There are so many systems around that even sites exist that list sites with DMS listings. I was once more or less in the same situation at our Government and we found that developing and maintaining it, is more expensive than buying.
Good luck, Peter
