A Down-to-Earth GIS Plan
Track: Transportation
Author(s): Gordon Guge

This paper will discuss how the City of Phoenix, Street Transportation Department developed a comprehensive GIS implementation and data conversion plan based on a simple set of concepts and a checklist approach to problem solving. With an initial investment of six months time, the City of Phoenix, Street Transportation Department put together a comprehensive five-year GIS implementation and data conversion plan based on a simple set of concepts and a checklist approach to integrate organizational data silos under a GIS umbrella. The Street Transportation Department GIS Team found that developing a GIS implementation plan doesn't have to be a frightening or overwhelming task. By using just a few simple planning techniques, you can build a high-level plan that is understandable by management, while blueprinting the design complexity essential for technical staff to effectively implement. The presentation will reveal techniques used to empower first-time GIS implementation planners.
