Workshop Phase (Validate Architecture and Methods)

Prior to this phase, you receive a questionnaire designed to collect information on different technical and non-technical aspects of your organization. After you answer this questionnaire, the workshop phase starts. A workshop is a two-day engagement where two Sun architects instantiate the migration project. The two days are broken into four half-day sessions as follows:

• Session 1: Review of the questionnaire and getting to know the customer.

• Session 2: Review all critical problems and show how Sun resolves them.

• Session 3: Sun articulates the vision and general architecture.

• Session 4: Sun proposes the project format with milestones and dates.

Preferably, the following members of your organization should attend this workshop:

• Project sponsor

• Groupware architect

• One person from the production team (hosting, network, SAN, disaster recovery, data center, geographic dispersion, and so on)

• One person from the security team

• One user representative (for example, from the Help Desk)

• One person from the desktop team

Sun and/or its partners align the two architects, one engagement manager, and one project manager.

After this workshop Sun and/or its partners have all the elements necessary to make a proposal, and a report is written.
