Network Dictionary — Forward Planning

December 10, 2009 by Greg Ferro · Leave a Comment 

I just love the idea of ‘Forward Planning’ but not because of end­less meet­ings of navel gaz­ing and point­less pre­dic­tions of core net­work growth, 10GB ports needed this year, stor­age con­ver­gence, and rack space needs. No, not even dis­cus­sions about budgets and other tasks can dim my excitement.

And that’s because if you have Forward Planning there must be BACKWARD PLANNING and I can’t wait to go to that meet­ing, and tell them “I told you so”.

What ? There’s no such thing as back­ward plan­ning ? Then there for­ward plan­ning is also false.

It’s a tau­to­logy. Planning is a pre­dic­tion task, and for­ward pre­dic­tion is say­ing it twice.
