Recommendation

BMC recommend that you implement the plan in its entirety. If you are restricted by time constraints and resources, then we recommend that the only phases you skip for the initial implementation are Phases 7 and 10. These are the optional phases indicated on the project flowchart diagram (Figure 1). Although Phases 4 and 9 are considered optional, BMC strongly recommend that you do not skip them unless you are absolutely sure of the implications of doing so.

Note: You should by now have decided your project objectives.
