You are going to be a manager... are not you? Is it without technical background?
By the way your posting is really good ... appreciated. But let me share a story here for your future reference.
Three managers went on a jungle expedition.... they lost the way out .... reached to a river ... where they could see the some villege houses but they had to cross the river.... they were exhausted .. so sat on a river bank. They decided to cross the river ... but with the all words (you mentioned here)they did not find the way out.
So all started crying .... one said " oh God, if you are really in existance, please come and help us" PUFFFFFF ... God came and asked for their wish... First manager - Give me a wood log, I will cross the river" ... God gave him a log .... by all deadly efforts he crossed the river
Its a chance of second manager - he asked for a tub like boat he could cross the river .. he got the same and crossed by .... both were happy and looking for third.
Its a chance of third manager - he asked " God Please make me an engineer" God surprised by such unexpected wish, because he was not from any university... but he developed the engineering skills means common sense in third manager and God disappeared.
Third manager opened his traking beg, took out the jungle map, where he found at a distance of 500 meter there is a bridge ... he went there and cross the bridge without any risk.
I mean to say important is COMMON SENSE.
Hope you won't take it otherwise.
