The more practical approach to getting it right. However I can see the need to think twice when you are talking about design. Actually you have simply described requirements analysis and a little project management. You might like to look into UML (Unified modeling language) and the Unified Process. These are industry best practice for software design and production but can be easily tailored to most design and construction jobs.
