The management plan should include strategic goals, an ability to upgrade network bandwidth, a change management plan, replacement schedules, configuration management processes, network and application software upgrades, contingency planning, security upgrades across the OSI model, potential wireless upgrades, and priority list to guide procurement budgeting.
