Great article Houman! Unfortunately, many projects understand the need for these alignments but it ends up being a box checking exercise rather than true focus on the issues and resulting impacts. This is due to the financial pressure of what some may call "minimizing engineering cost" when in fact it is not necessarily driven by engineering at all. It is a "Planning" effort that requires input from all stakeholders but the cost is realized in the engineering phase.
