DDI Project Planning
The document outlines the project planning process from a consultant's perspective for improving a customer's DNS and DHCP infrastructure. It involves first analyzing the current unstable environment and siloed structure. Then, building a questionnaire to evaluate the status quo and consult all involved parties. Next, designing a resilient, standardized best-of-breed setup that separates services and balances quality with manageability. Finally, migrating to the new infrastructure in processable units within the customer's budget constraints.
