| Now that you have completed the Design phase, you are presented with another phase-ending checkpoint. A phase ending checkpoint allows you to take a step back to verify the project is on tract and it allows you to present the status of the project to the customer. You are also ready to present the Design Phase deliverable with your recommendations for the MetaFrame Access Suite environment to the customer. The Design Phase Checkpoint document should contain the following sections: Preface Vision / Scope (Statement of Work) Infrastructure Assessment findings Proof of Concept assumptions and findings Statement of Work that defines scope, deliverables, estimated duration and costs for the design, Implementation, Readiness and Rollout phases. Server Design q Hardware Requirements q Operating Systems Requirements MetaFrame Access Suite Design q MetaFrame XP Architecture o MetaFrame XP Farm Design o MetaFrame XP Zone Design o MetaFrame XP Data Collector Design o MetaFrame XP Data Store Design o MetaFrame XP Load Management Design o Applications o MetaFrame Conferencing Manager Design o MetaFrame XP Printing Design q Application Delivery Architecture o MetaFrame XP Web Interface Design o MetaFrame Secure Access Manager Design o MetaFrame XP ICA Client Design q Security Architecture o Secure Gateway for MetaFrame Design o MetaFrame Password Manager Design Infrastructure Design q File Storage q Logon Scripts q Infrastructure Modifications At this point, your customer can choose to continue with the project or bow out gracefully. If the customer chooses to bow out then you would have earned a few service dollars and a significant amount of additional knowledge and experience. You will have also left the customer and yourself with the knowledge that you are now a consultant and not just a break/fix engineer. If the customer chooses to continue forward with the project then you will move forward to the Implementation phase.
