Poll: Where Should You Start With Network Design?
Today, our Information Thought of the Day (ITTOD) is another poll subject.
The question concerns the systems engineering of network design. Specifically, I am interested in your thoughts on what the first concern of Information Professionals should be when they do design. Obviously, every project will have different prioritization of the considered factors, but everyone has to start somewhere. Where do you start?
Loading ...I think that paradigms are important. I see most Information Professionals biased towards one of the factors above in their work. I think that it is important to realize the lenses that we see our professional world through.
Do you like polls as a daily topic? Do you have a recommended one for another week? Please let me know.
That is my Information Technology Thought of the Day (ITTOD) for May 22, 2009 ©Scott Coughlin .
