Appendix A. Education Information
The task of providing the right training, to the right people, at the right time, at
the right location is a small project of its own. There are many variables to
consider, including costs, not the smallest of which is simply determining if a
particular course is available. A good training plan will be the right balance of
these elements based on the needs of the installation.
The one thing that holds true for all migrating installations is that each
installation has unique training needs. In addition to unique products and
programs, the training and experience of operations, application development
and systems programming personnel are different. The training plan will be
different for a new hire than for a seasoned veteran or journeyman skill.
The major elements to be considered in planning for the education needed for
your installation during a migration are:
What training is needed and what courses are available
When are courses scheduled and when are they needed during the migration
Who will provide the training
Where the training will take place
