Using the project plan that was developed in the Plan phase, the design team develops the detailed design. The detailed design contains the network design, which includes a redundancy and failover plan, a disaster recovery plan, and an implementation plan. When the design is reviewed and accepted, a purchase order is generated for equipment and services.

Before You Begin
Gather requirements and data for the detailed design:
•
Business and system requirements
•Service-level agreements
•Capacity (bandwidth) requirements
•Site survey and proposal from the project plan
When You Are Done
The main deliverable of the Design phase is the detailed design:
•Network diagrams (see Network Topology Resources on the Resource Library tab for editable Microsoft Visio network drawings)
•Routing strategy
•Redundancy
•Call flows
•Traffic flows
•Equipment list
•Bill of materials
