-
-  The pre-planning activities for Hyper-V proceeded in three
-  phases. In the first phase, we identified and wrote down a set of
-  /business value propositions./ These are things we could pitch to
-  customers as new value they would get from using Windows 8. To wrap
-  up phase one, we worked with Mike Neil's team in Windows Server to
-  rank the business value propositions. This step ensured that COSD
-  and Windows Server operated from a common, agreed-upon set of
-  priorities.
-
-  For the second phase of pre-planning, we brainstormed all of the
-  features we would need to implement to deliver on the value
-  propositions from phase one. We captured a short description of each
-  potential feature in a one-page spec.
-
-  In the final phase of pre-planning, the dev team estimated how much
-  dev effort would be required to implement each feature.
-
-  By the numbers, our pre-planning work generated:
-
-  - 19 different value propositions
-
-  - 159 one-page specs 
-
-  - A 770-line spreadsheet containing dev estimates
-
-  - 4.5 times the amount of dev work than we can tackle in a single release
-
-  Moving from pre-planning to planning, our objective has been to
-  understand and to shape overall Windows priorities so we can pick
-  the /right/ 20% of work to commit to for Windows 8.
-
-  This document gives an overview of the different pre-planning
-  activities we did. It provides pointers to the pre-planning
-  artefacts we produced and shows how we've been able to map our
-  pre-planning work into planning.

-  CLOSED: [2009-12-01 Tue 10:52]
-
-  One of the first pre-planning activities we did in Hyper-V was
-  define a set of /business value propositions/ (BVPs). A business value
-  proposition is an end-to-end hook that can convince a customer that
-  Windows 8 is worth buying. 
-
-  Our BVPs are stored in the [[http://windows/hyper-v/initiatives/Value%20Propositions/Forms/AllItems.aspx][Hyper-V Portal]].
-
-** Anatomy of a BVP
-
-   Each BVP followed a simple, one-page template with the following
-   parts:
-   
-   - Customer Summary
-   - Storyboard
-   - Requirements
-   - Partner teams
-
-   The following sections walk through each section and give an
-   example from one of our BVPs, [[http://windows/hyper-v/initiatives/Value Propositions/DynamicDatacenter-ValueProp.docx][Resource-Smart Virtualization
-   Infrastructure]] (also called /Dynamic Datacenter/).
-   
-
-*** Customer Summary
-
-    The /customer summary/ section is a one-sentence description of
-    the customer value proposition, written from the customer's point
-    of view. Each customer summary starts with the phrase, /I want.../
-    The purpose of this section is to make sure we can give a concise
-    description of what we expect the customer to accomplish.
-
-    #+BEGIN_QUOTE
-    /Example:/
-    
-    I want to add or remove computing resources to company owned
-    virtualization infrastructure automatically, on-demand in
-    response to rapidly changing business needs without any loss of
-    business availability.
-    #+END_QUOTE
-
-*** Storyboard
-
-    To help people understand the customer scenario, the /storyboard/
-    section walks through the steps the customer would take to get the
-    new value from Windows 8.
-
-    #+BEGIN_QUOTE
-    /Example:/
-
-    Comsco warehouse IT provides access to multitudes of different
-    workloads including database servers, LOB applications, and
-    homegrown three-tier distributed applications spread across two
-    sites. Tim, administrator at Comsco IT, wants to see VM life cycle
-    management (create, deploy, service, move and destroy) utilizing
-    their existing tools and want it to be more efficient process than
-    managing physical servers.  Tim wants Microsoft software to
-    automatically create new VM on server from a pool of physical
-    servers and deploy workload in the VM when combined criteria of
-    load balancing and resource utilization he defined are met. While
-    Tim will continue to monitor real-time usage and Joe, who works in
-    CIO office, wants historical trending of resource utilization of
-    CPU, memory, power, storage, network bandwidth, storage bandwidth
-    and backup bandwidth for selected VMs and workloads across all the
-    servers. Based on historical trend analysis, Tim receives business
-    logic requirements from the office of CIO and he defines per VM
-    multi dimensional policy in Microsoft software to automatically
-    control resource usage allocation, resource prioritization and
-    resource move for above resource types.  Tim also wants to service
-    storage hardware without any downtime to running workloads.  Tim
-    wants MS software to freely move workloads between his primary
-    site and across the town secondary site as needed without any
-    downtime.

-
-*** Requirements
-
-    This section captures the core requirements for delivering the
-    customer value. Knowing we would not be able to do everything, we
-    categorized requirements into those needed for delivering good
-    value, a better value, and best value. To minimize the
-    randomization that could come from the bucketing, we identified
-    the customers who would be satisfied by a given level of value.
-
-    #+BEGIN_QUOTE
-
-    /Example:/
-
-    | Target Level | Customer                                | Example Requirements                          |
-    |--------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------|
-    | Good         | Large/medium enterprises                | Storage migration with zero business downtime |
-    | Better       | Early adopters at the Dyanmic I/O model | VM migration for load balancing               |
-    | Best         | Hosters                                 | Chargeback infrastructure                     |
-
-    #+END_QUOTE
-
-
-    
-
-*** Partner teams
-
-    Because BVPs describe end-to-end value, none can be delivered just
-    from the Hyper-V team. This section notes the partner teams we
-    would need to reach out to.
-
-    #+BEGIN_QUOTE
-    /Example:/
-
-    SCVMM, Failover clustering, Kernel, Intel & AMD
-    #+END_QUOTE
-
-** BVP Ranking
-
-   Working with Mike Neil's team, the Hyper-V trio and PM leads ranked
-   the BVPs based on the information we'd gathered through CFD
-   sessions and on the importance of competing with VMWare. The
-   consensus opinion is stored in a spreadsheet [[http://windows/hyper-v/initiatives/Value Propositions/ValueProposition-BucketTemplate-Master.xlsx][here]].
-
-   For each BVP, we also identified the target value level -- would we
-   aim for good value, better value, or best value?
-
-   Here's our ranked BVP list.

-  Armed with the prioritized list of customer value propositions to
-  consider for Windows 8, we started work on the next level of detail:
-  What features would we need to implement to deliver the value
-  proposition? Two main tasks refined our thinking in this
-  area. First, we brainstormed all of the features required to deliver
-  the target level of value in the BVP. Then, to reduce ambiguity, we
-  wrote a /one page spec/ for each feature. What exactly does
-  /cross-cluster live migration/ mean? The one-page spec tells
-  you. The goal of the one page spec was to capture just enough
-  information that a developer could estimate how expensive the
-  feature would be to implement. Our one-page spec library is [[http://windows/hyper-v/w8/Specs/Forms/AllItems.aspx][here]].
-

-
-  /Example: Cross-cluster live migration/
-
-  Key customer scenario: An enterprise is building large scale Hyper-V
-  based infrastructure to run vast majority of server workloads with
-  High-Availability is a requirement.  Customer builds multiple
-  clusters for one or more of the following business needs:
-
-# NOTE, for formatting reasons, don't fill the following.
-
-  - To keep cluster size to be manageable based on preconceived perception of node failure time is linearly proportional to cluster size,
-  - Due to increased business need they need to build new cluster once maximum supported cluster size is reached,
-  - There are departmental clusters and temporarily there is a need to use extra capacity of a cluster when one cluster experiences capacity peaks.
-
-  Customer would like ability to live migrate, quick migrate or move
-  VMs from one cluster to other cluster for above mentioned needs.
-
-  The goal is to provide more flexibility in VM mobility space without
-  cluster as a boundary.  Hyper-V needs to perform two operations in a
-  transaction:
-
-  - Live migrate VM from one cluster node to destination cluster node.
-  - Live migrate VM’s storage from one cluster’s shared storage to another cluster’s shared storage.
-
-
-  If any of the above fails, VM must continue to run on the source
-  node.
-
-  A user should be able to orchestrate live migration through Hyper-V
-  manager, Failover cluster UI, WMI or Powershell.
-
-  Live migration should perform necessary checks to ensure live
-  migration requirements are met.  Some of the examples in addition to
-  other migration checks are, performing estimation of time to migrate
-  VM, access to the VM storage and same IP network on destination to
-  ensure VM will be able to migrate successfully without dropping a
-  TCP connection. If Hyper-V cannot reliably guaranty retaining TCP
-  connection live migration should fail and must ensure VM continues
-  to run on source node.
-
-  Administrator should be able to set cluster wide, Hyper-V wide or
-  per VM policies around allowing or denying live migrating one or
-  more VMs from one cluster to any particular cluster or any other
-  cluster.
-
-  User experience and workflow of orchestrating live migration within
-  a cluster or across the cluster site should be the same.

-  Using the one-page specs, the dev team estimated the dev time it
-  would take to implement each feature identified to deliver on the
-  business value propositions. The estimates are kept in this
-  [[http://windows/hyper-v/w8/BVP/BVP%20Feature%20Expansion.xlsx][spreadsheet]]. The estimaes are fine-grained. To stretch an analogy,
-  instead of t-shirt sizes, we've got estimates of the yards of thread
-  required to make the t-shirt. For each feature we identified in the
-  BVP process, the dev team estimated how to break apart the work and
-  estimated the number of weeks of senior, mid-level, and junior dev
-  time it would take to implement the feature.
-
-  The key conclusion from the exercise: Our eyes are *way* bigger than
-  our wallets. In the BVP process, we identified about five times as
-  much work as we will be able to deliver in Windows 8.

-  Pre-planning identified a significant amount of work we /could/ do
-  in Windows 8. Our challenge in planning has been to identify the 20%
-  of the work on our list that best aligns with the overall Windows
-  vision, so we can commit to this as work we /will/ do for Windows 8.
-
-  The business value propositions we defined in pre-planning lined up
-  well with planning themes & subthemes. As we moved from pre-planning
-  to planning, we narrowed down the list of BVPs that we focused on,
-  and we worked through the established theme & subtheme
-  planning. Through the Windows planning process, we have been able to
-  work with our partner teams to find alignment on priorities.
-
-  The following table shows how we mapped our BVPs to planning themes
-  for the planning process.

-* TODO Conclusion
-
-  Because of our pre-planning work, we've had good alignment between
-  COSD (and now Windows Core) and Windows Server on overall Hyper-V
-  priorities and directions. The work on estimating feature costs has
-  enabled us to set realistic expectations on the scope of work we can
-  deliver in Windows 8. Taken together, our pre-planning work should
-  have made Hyper-V a more predictable and transparent partner team to
-  work with in the planning process.

--	Upward of 55% of the DAC members [project] they will have up to 50% of their users using VDI in 3 years (~1/2 of those will have > 50%)
--	No real surprises on the reasons / benefits etc
--	Interestingly ... even if TS supported all client apps / supported user-install apps - 100% of the DAC preferred VDI over TS
--	Most companies said a portion of their users would have VDI as the primary replacement desktop (60% < 20% of users, 32% 21-50% of users)
