Synopsis

Under today's shortened fiscal horizons and contracted time-to-market schedules, traditional approaches to capacity planning are seen by management as tending to inflate production schedules. In the face of relentless pressure to get things done faster, Guerrilla Capacity Planning facilitates rapid forecasting of capacity requirements, based on the opportunistic use of available performance data and tools so that management insight is expanded but production schedules are not. A key Guerrilla concept is the introduction of short-range capacity planning questions in team meetings, which compels management to buy into capacity planning. Once you have your "foot in the door", capacity planning methods can be refined in an iterative cycle of improvement called "The Wheel of Capacity Planning". Another unique Guerrilla tool is Virtual Load Testing, based on Dr. Gunther's "Universal Law of Computational Scaling", which provides a highly cost-effective method for assessing application scalability.
