I think that good researchers and engineers already ask themselves some form or subset of these questions but I'm perhaps somewhat morbidly curious about those who don't even consider the heart of what these questions beg at when approaching a project. So many people doing research or building software which is doomed to crash headlong into a fundamental problems that everyone else saw coming.

Most software is not 'research' it's just 'building stuff'. Like an accounts payable portal. Or script to analyze and process support calls. Or to manage sales relationships.

  And that type of project has its own set of fundamental problems to consider.
