Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

This book is a guide to the execution of a Windows NT based infrastructure analysis and design project. The fundamental rationale behind the book is that each technical infrastructure project comprises broadly the same set of activities and faces the same set of issues. By defining those activities and showing how the issues may be addressed, it encapsulates the re-usable components of a technical infrastructure analysis and design project.

This book complements project management literature by applying the theory of the subject to a particular type of project. It complements technical literature by providing a framework in which to make design decisions. The tools and techniques presented are independent of technology so they will apply as well to a design that uses future products.

In summary it is about:


	?	Applying standard project management techniques to a technical infrastructure project


	?	Using proven tools to ensure a quality analysis of the technical infrastructure requirements


	?	The creation of a design that can be shown to support those requirements

The book is organized in two parts, the first introduces tools and concepts and the second is based on their application to a general case study.

While focusing on a Windows NT 4 based technical infrastructure, the techniques and project activities described here are equally applicable to a Windows NT 5 based technical infrastructure.
