Hello Dan

>Normally you would have a step/task for Testing. The different testing phases would be Unit, System, Integration, Acceptance and Regression.

Good point.

>I think your best start to coding (if you aren't using one already) is to use a commercial framework. It will give you a real jump start in developing the application and will minimize your support time once it is installed and in use at a client site(s).

Yes, I was presuming that all the tools-of-choice were in place and available.

>Also, determine if a context sensitive Help system is a requirement. This can add some considerable time to the project depending on the size and complexity of the application.

Another excellent point. Do you develop help concurrently as you code a module, or is there a particular help phase in the process?
