Welcome to
Methodology in a Box 1.0 Beta (MIAB) - The
Ultimate Citrix Install Guide. MIAB 1.0 Beta
is free Citrix guide and award winning project
oriented deployment citrix pdf. MIAB
was designed to be a culmination of Citrix
tutorials to teach you everything you need to
assist with your Citrix MetaFrame XP Feature
Release 1 with NFuse 1.61
installations.
Methodology
in a Box is broken down in to five chapters;
analysis, design, implementation, readiness and
rollout. I wrote this guide to act as a starting
point in teaching basic project management to help
the technicians and engineers who find themselves
being required to deploy Citrix
technologies. In this free Citrix guide you
will learn the following:

How to
analyze and design a Citrix FR1 environment

I have also
tried to write this document in the same framework
that your project will follow and throughout this
document, I have presented real world examples
from my personal experiences in deploying
MetaFrame XP and other software packages. To
accomplish this I have created a fictitious
consulting firm (D&D Consulting) and a
customer called DABCC.COM to add a sense of
realism to the examples. I have also documented
systematic instructions on everything needed for a
successful Citrix MetaFrame FR1. My
intentions are to make this a blueprint for a
successful deployment and from the feedback I'm
receiving we are accomplishing just that.
In this
project, you will find a lot of information but it
is far from everything one would need and it is
not even meant to be. It is meant to be a starting
point, a process change to get you excited about
the art of Project Management the way I am.
With it, I truly believe it can take you and your
organization to the next level. Over
the past four years I have received a lot of
feedback and my favorites are the ones where the
consultants and business owners has written to me
to explain how they where able to take this
methodology and mold it in with their own to make
something bigger than the sum of its parts.
That is the goal of this document.
Thank you and enjoy,
