Chapter 3

When you spend time analyzing your organizational structure and needs and determining how best to translate those requirements into your new namespace, you'll be rewarded by reduced support costs, improved flexibility, and less reorganizing later. It's important to understand that planning the namespace of a large or even medium-sized organization or company is an iterative process. You won't get it right the first time, but you need to start somewhere. You should also understand that much of the advice you'll receive will be based on politics and agendas, making the job more difficult than it should be.
