Systems deployment planning and scheduling
Saradhi Motamarri · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 1991
In any large scale Systems Development activity, it is unlikely that the whole application system is ready at a time for deployment/launching to live action. In case of turnkey projects the situation is much more critical. Added to this there can be situations in which, the implementation of design and deployment of application system may have to go in tandem. As the Systems Development Life Cycle does not include these, the Project Management within that constrained framework may likely face enormous setbacks. I have realised these issues in the process of a turnkey computerisation project for a large Thrift and Credit Co-Operative Society application. The paper aims at elaborating the role of Systems Deployment Planning and Scheduling for successful Systems Development and Deployment in such situations.
