I'd have to disagree with this statement entirely.  Every project MUST have
an IA stage whether or not you choose to call it that.  Even if it's
something so simple as drawing the sitemap on a napkin, a planning phase
must occur.  To not do so is to make the project more complex than it need
be.  A little bit of stopping and thinking before running and jumping goes a
long way.

Agreed, doing a wireframe for each page is often not necessary.  But please
tell me you atleast write down what each page much have on it, what each
page's navigation structure is, and the type of content you need to fill it
out.
