IT Project This venture simulates the Assessment and Planning wanted to supply IT providers for a brand new constructing. The scholar
should submit a Project Schedule based mostly on the Project Necessities and particulars under.
1. Utilizing the hooked up MS Phrase desk template, create a venture schedule. The venture schedule will want
the next columns: WBS; Job #; Job Motion; Length; Predecessor; and Assets.
2. Don’t transcend the scope recognized under. The venture solely covers duties recognized under.
Background: IT has been notified that a new workplace constructing is prepared for occupancy. All telecommunication
cables are in place. Rooms are outfitted to supply entry to the community as soon as the community servers are
put in. Wi-fi routers are put in all through the constructing to supply wi-fi entry as soon as the community
servers are put in. VOIP telephones and vendor-supplied networked copier are already ordered.
NOTE: word specs might comprise a number of actions/duties. Break them down into separate rows and group
comparable actions right into a block of duties (i.e., Buy Assets; Setup Gear; and so on.).
Project Specs:
• Buy, setup, deploy and check community servers that can be managed within the new constructing’s IT space.
o Setup consists of loading and testing community software program at company IT earlier than deployment.
o Check community servers within the new constructing after deployment.
o NOTE: Community servers have to be put in and operational earlier than different gadgets could be examined
for web and wi-fi connectivity.
• Buy, setup, deploy and check Desktop PCs and Laptops in workplaces, labs and administrative areas.
o Setup consists of loading and testing company software program at company IT earlier than deployment.
o Check all methods and guarantee they’ll entry the community as soon as deployed.
o Check all wi-fi methods and guarantee they’ll entry the wi-fi routers.
• Buy, deploy and check wi-fi Projectors.
o Check all Projectors to make sure desktops can entry them by way of direct cabling.
o Check all Project to make sure cellular laptops can entry them wirelessly.
• Buy, deploy and check VOIP telephones (they use the community to obtain/generate telephone calls).

• Check networked Printers/Copiers as soon as they’re delivered by the lease vendor.
o Check all printers/copiers to make sure they’ll print paperwork despatched throughout the community.
The COO has decided the next guidelines to facilitate occupancy:
• IT Space have to be prepared first. Deploy and check community servers and desktop PC three weeks earlier than any
different location.
• Administrative Areas have to be prepared second. Deploy and check their desktop PCs and VOIP telephones one
week earlier than remaining places.
• Convention & Assembly Rooms have to be prepared third. Deploy and check their desktop PCs, VOIP
telephones and wi-fi projectors 5 days earlier than the remaining places.
• Workplaces and labs are final. Deploy and check their desktop PCs, VOIP telephones and wi-fi projectors
earlier than occupancy.
Project Particulars: The brand new constructing consists of the IT Space, Pc Labs, Administrative Areas, Particular person
Workplaces, a Convention Room, and a Public Assembly Room.
IT Space: assets embody
• four community servers
• 1 desktop PC
• 2 laptops
• 2 VOIP telephones Administrative Areas: 2 administrative areas will every have
• four workstations, every with a desktop PC, networked by way of a community port
• a VOIP telephone for every of the four workstations
• a vendor-supplied networked copier
Convention Room. The convention room has
• a wi-fi ceiling-mounted Projector
• community connectivity by way of a community cable and a wi-fi entry level
• a VOIP telephone
Assembly Room. The assembly room has
• a wi-fi ceiling-mounted Projector
• 1 desktop PC with community connectivity by way of a community cable.
• 2 VOIP telephones (one close to the lectern and the opposite wall mounted on the entrance
Particular person Workplaces: 40 workplaces will every have
• a desktop PC networked by way of a community port
• a VOIP telephone
Pc Labs: 2 laptop labs will every have
• a wi-fi ceiling-mounted Projector
• a desktop PC, networked by way of a community port, and straight cabled to the Projector
• 25 desktop PCs networked by way of a community port

Personnel Assignments
PC Specialist (tools buy, software program setup and PC help):
o buy, setup and set up of recent laptops and desktop computer systems and company software program
o buy of all projectors
o work with Community Specialist to make sure community entry is on the market on all computer systems and
networked printers
Community Specialist (Telecomm help):
o setup and set up of community servers and all VOIP telephones
o work with PC Specialist to make sure community entry is on the market on all computer systems and networked
printers
AV Specialist (A/V necessities):
o Set up of all wi-fi projectors
o work with PC Specialist to make sure projectors could be accessed by acceptable computer systems
Take time to consider how the work of the Specialists can be carried out.
• Perceive how the occupancy guidelines have an effect on the schedule timeline.
o Since some places are occupied at totally different instances, deal with the deployment and testing of
assets for every location individually (i.e. IT Space separate from Admin Space; Convention Room,
Assembly Room, and so on.).
• Ensure you fulfill all venture specs.
• The PC Specialist, Community Specialist and AV Specialist could be finishing duties concurrently and it’s fairly
attainable that one specialist must wait whereas one other specialist completes a process.
• The schedule should embody a milestone for every block of duties (Buy Assets, Setup Gear,
Deploy and Check).
o Every useful resource (community servers, computer systems, projectors) have to be bought individually since
they’ll come from totally different distributors. The VOIP telephones and third-party community printers are
already ordered and simply should be examined as soon as they arrive.
o Be aware: a single process could also be used for a useful resource that’s examined at a particular time (i.e. the testing of
all computer systems for administrative areas is usually a single process; or the testing of all laptop for the
2 laptop labs is usually a single process). Nonetheless, a single process can’t be used when an motion
have to be performed throughout totally different occupancy intervals (i.e., testing of IT Space assets is a separate
process from testing of Administrative Areas, and so on. since they take occupancy at totally different instances.)
• Job Actions should begin with a verb and describe the motion (i.e., Check VOIP telephones)
o Milestones don’t begin with verbs and have a zero length.
• When creating the schedule, use your greatest guess in figuring out Length. Use a single measure (i.e.,
min.) for all duties.
• Assets should embody each the folks (title of the IT Specialist) and particular useful resource(s).
• When creating Predecessors, level to the respective Job # (not the WBS quantity). It isn’t mandatory
to incorporate a process that’s already a predecessor of one other process (i.e. take into account the next duties: 1:
Order meals, 2: Eat meals, three: Cleanup. The predecessor for two is 1. The predecessor for three is 2 (i.e. 2
already has a predecessor of 1).
o Be aware: watch out about predecessors. Not solely are they straight associated to the duties that
proceed them inside a Milestone however they could be straight associated to duties inside different
Milestones (instance: community servers have to be operational earlier than different tools could be
examined for community connectivity – search for different dependencies described above).
• The WBS must be accomplished as soon as the schedule is in its ultimate model.
