Lessons Learnt from the SOE125 Site Implementation Project.
The Department of Defence $38m SOE125 project was responsible for implementing a single Standard Operating Environment, Windows XP, across 63,000 desktops on two networks in four countries. The project rolled out the new SOE across diverse business areas such as hospitals, air traffic control towers, business critical operations rooms and other high level defence functions; on networks which contained 330 third party applications. It included the amalgamation and decommissioning of servers in 166 server rooms, and the migration of 93,000 user accounts (which was a major project in itself). There are lessons to be learnt from such a vast undertaking that are applicable across all types of projects. The session will cover:
Corporate Governance and authority – the keys to success Change Management - how far can a project go to make things happen Measuring earned value - finding something to measure without changing the goal posts each week The importance of prior preparation and planning The importance of a systems approach in bringing order to chaos
