2.0 Creating a Project Plan

This planning material provides an overview of the activities that are usually part of an Identity Manager project, from its inception to its full production deployment. Implementing an identity management strategy requires you to discover what all of your current business processes are, what are the needs for these processes, who the stakeholders are in your environment, and then design a solution, get buy-in from stakeholders, and test and roll out the solution. This section is intended to provide you with sufficient understanding of the process so that you can maximize the benefit from working with Identity Manager.

This section is not exhaustive; it is not intended to address all possible configurations, nor is it intended to be rigid in its execution. Each environment is different and requires flexibility in the type of activities to be used.
