Documentation: Keeping detailed records of how interfaces are managed is important. This documentation helps in understanding the flow of the project and is crucial for resolving any disputes that may arise.

Risk Management: Proactively identifying and managing risks associated with interfaces can prevent delays and cost overruns.
