I have become very familiar with Darryl's writings. He provides a practical, knowledgeable approach to the complexity
associated with planning, implementing, and managing projects in complex IT environments. His most recent work around
his MAPIT methodology provides tremendous guidance on this subject. I am a big believer in utilizing consistent processes
to be successful, and MAPIT is an outstanding methodology for organizations large and small.

Darryl has provided a key roadmap on to how to formally document and plan for major technology
projects. Because larger scale technology deployments in education are relatively new those who
deployed them in the past did not need to do a lot of planning. The past consisted of ‘the computer
guy’ setting up the system. What worked for ‘the guy’ to set up a few computers no longer works
for tens of thousands of devices or millions in infrastructure spending.
During a recent $15M technology infrastructure upgrade we used many of these strategies to
adequately plan and implement the project. Large construction projects have been using many of
these strategies for decades. Now it is time for strategies to be implemented that are unique to
Educational Technology. Radical planning is needed and this book provides the tools necessary to
stay on track.

In my chair we always start with a dream or a vision. But you can be sure there is always a
solid plan behind every dream if it's ever going to become a reality. Daryl has done a great
job identifying each part of plans required to be successful when implementing technology
based dreams.
