There are many hands in the pot when it comes to a project that has a large scope. But the most important piece to getting the correct information and making your project successful is getting information directly from the user. This is called the "User Story" in Agile Project Management. Without knowing the type of user, what the user wants the software to do, and the why behind all of these questions your project will not meet the satisfaction of the user which is the main goal.

Enabler stories are features that do not directly benefit the user of the system. And are usually broken down into four categories, Exploration which includes research spikes, architecture which includes planning and designing, infrastructure including servers, and compliance which includes testing.
