IX Planning to let the light shine

Next is discussed a vital point

  That helps you not to fail

While planning to build a great joint

  Consider each detail

 

The P M’s task is first to write

  A formal document

A project plan thus sees the light

  First step to implement

 

A standard template does exist

  To ease the tough process

But using it as is – resist –

  It will negate success

 

A template’s good – to standardize –

  It helps with common tasks

But must be matched to each school’s size

  For changes it then asks

 

The plan must point by point address

  What needs to be prepared

No item may be left a mess

  No effort must be spared

 

There is no way one could have known

  It could not be conceived

How schools’ I T needs would have grown

  No one would have believed

 

For I T schools were not designed

  – Class teaching and no more –

Computers no one had in mind

  They were not catered for

 

The need for space one can’t ignore

  Schools can get benefit

If one all options does explore

  And find a retrofit

 

If there’s a room – remodel how –

  A call to innovate

What changes are required now

  What must one renovate

 

When no room is available

  Create the needed space

Choose options that are feasible

  To give the lab a place

 

For schools this is a monster chore

  With many tentacles

An open mind – this is called for –

  To void these obstacles

 

Each feature to be modified

  Is carefully outlined

Items that must be rectified

  Are likewise well defined

 

For every item that must change

  The cost do calculate

So that throughout the project’s range

  There is an estimate
