Description
This practical and detailed work on project management is specifically written for the implementation of wireless systems and the upgrade of existing technologies. The book provides a "road map" through the project process and detailed templates for each step. It focuses on the success of the entire system in a "soup to nuts" fashion - design, budgeting, purchasing, configuration, integration, customization, application development, testing, implementation, training and customer satisfaction. The book explains wireless technology requirements and specifications, then illustrates how to deliver quality projects on time and on budget. Each chapter contains a number of tools to help readers through the process, including building a "Wireless Restaurant" - a case study that clearly illustrates the idea and processes behind each chapter. The book also discusses how to manage multiple-equipment vendors, service providers and consulting services.
This book should be of interest to: project managers; IT managers; service providers; telecommunications technicians; CIOs; and anyone else charged with deploying or upgrading a wireless system for a business environment, both in the US and abroad.
