Chapter Nine: Putting it all Together

Here's an overview of chapter 9 provided by the publisher:

So far, each technically-focused team has been working on their own as they prepare their portion of the technical solution. By now, you should be in the middle of the Organize phase of the QUOTE System with each team progressing towards completion of their engineering activities. It is now time to first, review the status of each solution component, mapping them out to the original logical solution design, correct any defects or deviances if they appear and then, begin integrating each solution component into one cohesive whole that will provide one single flow of operations during the rollout. The objective of this activity is to make sure that each and every engineering aspect of your solution works as expected in every situation and have it accepted by your peers, especially those that will be responsible for these aspects of IT operation once the solution is in place.
