Construct a Flexible Schedule

To accommodate this “can of worms,” the implementation team can draft a flexible schedule. If at all possible, avoid setting a final implementation date until the inventory and design phases are completed. Plan to take care of the emergency requirements first and then phase-in the remainder of the organization. If careful planning and analysis are done up front, implementation progresses smoothly, and speeds up as the administrator becomes more familiar with CA Top Secret, with the environment, and with the security administration function.

It is not as important to put time frames on each phase of the implementation plan, as it is to be certain that the implementation tends to all requirements.
