Logistics......


Logistics is the art and science of managing and controlling the flow of goods, energy, information and other resources like products, services, and people...(from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistics)
Starting a project, resource planning, migrating servers, etc.......do you:
  • have the room
  • the workstations
  • pens, paper clips, white boards
  • contacts with agencies........etc.........???
Things just don't fall from the sky or grow on trees (?? well they do, but I'm making a point).
Part of any major (or minor) solid project plan needs to include consideration for logistics. As some great general (Alexandr?) said 'Logistics doesn't win a war - but it sure could lose one'.
