Synopsis

A Methodology for Developing and Deploying Internet and Intranet Solutions. World-class techniques for managing today's business-critical IT projects. Today's intranet, Internet, and client/server deployments involve more sites, more participants, more technologies, and more complexity than ever before. Now, top Hewlett-Packard project manager Jeff Greenberg introduces a complete reusable methodology for successfully integrating and deploying practically ANY new technology while using Internet and intranet technology as an example. Through detailed, practical case studies, you'll learn these and other crucial planning skills: *Identifying the expertise you'll need. *Organizing the project team. *Asking critical up-front questions that are usually ignored until it's too late. *Developing initial proposals and timelines that minimize risk. *Pre-staging the technology solution to assure deployment success. *Making sure that your infrastructure is sufficiently robust. *Uncovering political and organizational obstacles--and responding to them. Greenberg introduces "proof-of-concept" prototyping techniques that deliver maximum information for decision-making.He also demonstrates new techniques for high availability by considering infrastructure requirements like architecture, networking, backup, and recovery early on.
