GENERAL PLANNING
The General Installation Plan is made up of two
items: the Activity List (Figure 05.1) and the
Activity Time Estimates (Figure 05.2)
Your Activity List contains the major areas of
concentration. It answers the questions "who" and
"what". Your Activity Time Estimates answers
the question "when". However, you still do not
have enough detail.
Before going into more detail, go back and be
sure the two lists are fully understood.
The Activity List contains the major installation
activities you need to complete a successful instal-
lation. The first two areas, Installation Organiza-
tion and Document Current Processes, although not
end products, are most important. They are the
foundation of your installation. The remaining
items on the list are:
• Application Design
• Operations Planning
• Physical Planning
• Conversion and Applications Complete
• Evaluation
These will go smoothly if you ensure that the
first two areas are complete.
Your Activity Time Estimates makes this point
clear; notice that the early parts of your installation
efforts, as mentioned previously, must all have
start dates. If your foundation is firm and on
schedule, the later installation activities will also
be smooth and on schedule.
The later installation activities require more
detail. You may find these items helpful in planning
applications other than those listed.
