Planning Coordinator

Throughout the planning phase, the planning coordinator meets with the planning team and the IBM installation planning representative to ensure that all pre-installation tasks are proceeding smoothly. Implementation Plan is a checklist of these planning tasks.

The planning coordinator should read all the chapters in this publication to help the other team members prepare for the printer. The planning coordinator should also be familiar with the other manuals in the Infoprint 3000 Library (see Infoprint 3000 Library).

In addition to the tasks described in this publication, the planning coordinator should consider related issues, such as:

• Training: Who needs to be trained on the printer or AFP? Who conducts the training sessions? When will training be scheduled?
• Testing: Who performs the printer or AFP tests? What applications should we test? What forms should we test? How can we conduct testing without affecting production schedules?
• Implementation: How will the printer be phased into production? What applications will use the printer first?
• Documentation: Which local procedures do we need to change? Who is responsible for changing locally written procedures? Who needs copies of IBM hardware and software manuals?
• Supplies: How large should the initial printer supply order be? What is the local procedure for ensuring that supplies are kept in stock?
