title: Developers - Creating a successful plan for a new application?
body: <p>We are wanting to have developers build an in-house payroll and time sheet application using symfony2/doctrine2. </p>
  
  <p>We are simply at conceptual stage at this point and this will be our first time and getting developers to build an application for our company. Hence, it is very important to us that we provide the most valid and important information to what will be our new developer team.</p>
  
  <p>So my question to this community is if you could please advise me of tools and/or documents that will help me define and provide a developers team with the information they require to make not only the project successful but also clear from day dot.</p>
  
  <p>I have played around with ORM Designer in getting the backend in order and to give visual idea of relationships and inheritance. Please let me know of any other tools of value.</p>
  
  <p>Any examples would be greatly appreciated.</p>
