SharePoint Server Deployment Plan MPP
Joel Oleson, on the SharePoint Team Blog has posted a sample deployment plan for a MOSS installation. Looks pretty comprehensive.
At a glance:
- 6 Months
- Resources:
- Database Administrator
- Desktop Administrator
- Education/Training Lead
- End Users
- Intranet/Internet Administrator
- Project Manager
- Test/QA Lead
- Workspace Coordinators
- Overall methodology seems to be MSF-esque with phases:
- Envisioning
- Planning
- Deployment, Implementation and Configuration Management
- Post-Implementation Operations, Optimization and Business Review
They have clearly tried to make this all things to all deployments which is nice. I expect my shop will probably start out with this and whittle it down a little into something that looks like what we actually do. I think that we'll also set up some task notes or links within tasks to point to specifications and guidance.
Additionally, this does not cover anything related to significant custom feature deployments. I wouldn't really expect that though.
Overall, good stuff.
