Summary

The ideal system plan accounts for all aspects of the system administration and maintenance, from those tasks performed daily to those items done on an irregular or occasional basis. If you plan and test properly, you can avoid potential problems and provide a predictable environment to users. In general, people do not like surprises. This is especially true with business systems, so establishing accurate schedules for all tasks is very important and will build confidence in your system.
