Chapter 1: Introduction

9

Summary

This chapter has introduced you to this guide and summarized the other chapters in it. It has also provided brief descriptions of both service level agreements and planning and deployment. Now that you understand the organization of the guide, you can decide whether to read it from beginning to end, or whether you want to read selected portions. Remember that effective, successful operations require effort in all areas, not just improve- ments in one area, so that if you decide to read the Supporting chapter first, you should go back and read the other chapters as well.
