Network Refresh Series – Part 2: Project Initiation: Gathering Requirements and Setting Objectives

To successfully refresh a network, one of the key factors is proper project initiation - yet frequently - teams jump directly into implementation with no clear goals, later to have delays, and costs overruns, and end objectives misaligned with stakeholders. In this second chapter of our Network Refresh Series, we outline the importance of the initiation phase, with considerations from stakeholder requirements through a measurable objective. We will review what pitfalls to avoid, what buy-in means and plan and prepare for future success before the first cable is pulled or the first config is pushed.
