Question

Project Management

You are developing a wireless network for your five-bedroom house. For this wireless netowrk, write a WBS and use Microsoft Project to plan the project. If you are planning to do the project yourself, there is no need for a contract. If you are considering the services of a contracter, devise a contract as well as evaluate the contractor using a weighted scorecard. Write a complete project plan with functional and technical requirements.

I plan on doing it my self so no contract will be needed. Just need to use Microsoft Project and cpme up with a project plan with functional and technical requirements.

Explanation / Answer

Wireless Local Area Network Installation Project

This document serves to provide a scope to install a wireless network for five bedroom

House.

Security and Support Scope Definition

Subproject Justification

The business need for this subproject is the to show steps to install wireless in a five be roomed house to get equal full strength signal to all users.

Subproject Products/Services

There will be distinct products/services produced as a result of this subproject. These include the following major outcomes:

Subproject Success Identified

This subproject has quantifiable criteria that define success for this phase of the overall project.

Cost. The cost factors of this subproject are mainly anchored in time of existing project staff. The project team will make use of existing staff for this project. No new tools are needed to support this effort. So cost is not a large part of measuring success of this subproject.

           

Schedule. Time is a critical factor in this subproject. Security issue subtasks must be mostly resolved prior to the conduct of the pilot program subproject and definitely prior to the full implementation subproject phase. Certain sets of tasks have to be completed in order to facilitate pilot program start on time.

1) The security and support subproject will be successful if the pilot program is not delayed due to security or support tasks.

2) The security and support subproject will be successful if the full implementation is not delayed due to security or support tasks.

Quality. For the purposes of this subproject quality can be evaluated in terms of security. If the project meets or exceeds industry and corporate security standards and practices then the subproject should be deemed a success.

3) The security and support subproject will be successful if there are no significant negative findings from a security audit of the system.

Subproject Tasks

The four main subprojects of the wireless network installation include the following:

            Hardware and Software

            Security and Support

            Pilot Program

            Full Implementation

The Security and Support subproject entails these twenty tasks:

assist with hardware selection

research security issues

identify weaknesses and fixes

ensure current security policy adherence

choose protocol standard

implement hardening techniques

apply encryption technology

integrate into existing network authentication

patch access point firmware

configure access points

network management system snap-in

run vulnerability testing tools

conduct mini security audit

document security architecture

document client adapter install

update current helpdesk procedures

train helpdesk support personnel

conduct in process project review / lessons learned

coordinate and support pilot program team

coordinate and support implementation team
