Infrastructure Definition and Implementation [S15] Marcus Software Designs, Inc. assists organizations in defining, developing, and implementing an infrastructure that is appropriate for the organization's culture. Many efforts to implement new infrastructures fail because they follow "cookie-cutter" models that are inappropriate to an environment.
Defining and implementing a sound infrastrucutre is prerequisite to achieving SEI Level 2 capability. The diagram below illustrates how an organization will roll out new projects after the requirements are defined and accepted. This will minimize risk while responsibly laying the groundwork for future development and support efforts. The horizontal boxes reflect the support function that all projects share. The vertical boxes reflect the projects over time. The dashed boxes are future projects. Solid lines outline areas that must be addressed to support the first pilot project. As stated in the introduction, it is not a requirement to have each support function completely understood and documented. This will evolve according to the needs and culture of the organization. This is appropriate since many infrastructure efforts fail due to the mismatch with the culture of the organization. Instituting these functions must be handled carefully. Note: The horizontal support functions are not complete. There are several functions that are not explicitly stated, such as: Help Desk; Software Support.
