Project Objectives
The main objective for this project is to build two networks that will manage and maintain
connection between employees, manage a database, and provide a entertainment service to guests.
The project consists of two networks in which the employees will have a physical network that will be
connected to a server. The clients will have a wireless network in which they can have the entertaining
service and the internet. The objectives for this project include:
Do a site map and analysis of the existing property.
Complete installation of network materials.
Complete configuration of wired network.
Complete configuration of the wireless network
Complete the verification process.
Seek approval of project.
Project Assumptions and Constraints
Assumptions
Database software should be working correctly once all the information is put in.

System communication should be working right after installed.

Wired network should be easy to set up.

Wireless network should be working in every unit.

Media server connection should work from every unit.

The backup server should be working after configured with the wired network.

The restoration server should be able to store data from the wired network and the wireless
network.
Constraints
Pulling wire might be difficult in some areas.
Configuration of connectivity might be difficult.
Building the media server might be complicated.
There could be some delays in making the database working properly and set up to the clients
standard.

Project Risks




Risk Grading Key:


Risk Comments
I rated the risk of the materials not being delivered on time a low risk but a high level of
seriousness because it will influence the deadline for the project and it will delay some services
for the customer.
I rated the risk of the equipment being shipped being damaged while shipping a low risk but a
high level of seriousness because if the equipment is damaged it won't work properly and the
warranty might be invalid if not returned on time. This will also delay some deliverables from
happening due to the waiting of new equipment being shipped.
I rated the risk of the equipment not working properly a low risk but a high serious level because
it will cause other equipment not to work and will slow down the configuring process for me
when it will be time to configure the system.

Project Impact
Impacts of Implementation on the Business

The impact of the changes on the project will be projected as follows:
The project manager can have a delay in training the employees.
The manger can have a delay in finishing the installation and configuration of the media
part of the project.

Medium Possible to occur once a year
High Possible to occur more than once a month
Threat
Rating
Risk Impact on
organizational data
integrity
Risk impact on
public trust
Risk impact on company
value
1. Fire damaging the
equipment
Low Impact would be
that departments
and service would
be closed.
The public can
withdraw doing
business
The company will need to
assess the damage and
rebuild the damaged area to
add new value to property.
2. Flooding or water
accessing the IT room
Low Impact would be
that data would be
lost due to
equipment damage
The public can
withdraw from
doing business
The company will need to
assess the damage and
assemble a plan to rebuild
the IT room.

3. Employee theft of
data

Low Impact would be
that employee
would have
customer data
Public trust would
go down in
showing that
company can't
secure their data
The company value will be
negative in which data has
been taken and it will be a
part of its company history
4. Customer theft of
data
Low Impact will be that
the data can be
sold or used as
money theft
The public trust
would be down in
which customers
won't come
The company has to do a
refourm of security and
include customer as possible
threats of theft
5. Employee network
being hacked

Medium Impact will be that
data can be
compromised and
used in negative
way
The public will
have a negative
response and not
trust the company
The value will be affected
and have vulnerabilities to
future attacks.
6. Media server being
hacked

Medium Impact will be that
the company will
have to reinvest
into media
The public won't
be apart of this
theft
The value will decrease in
which it will delay services
for customers
7. Breach into IT room

Medium Impact will be that
data can be
retrieved or
equipment can be
damaged
The public can
withdraw from
business
The value will decrease in
which services will be
delayed
8. Network blackout Medium Impact will be data
loss
The public won't
know
The value can decrease due
to data loss
9. System failure or
slowdown
High Impact data in
which access will be
delayed
The public can
have negative
impact if it's not
improved
The value can decrease if the
problem persists
10. Data manipulation Low Impact on data in
which data can be
misunderstood
The public can
misunderstand
and cause
negative impact
The company value will
decrease and needs to take
measures for prevention
11. Hardware failure Medium Impact on data in
which data will not
The public can
withdraw from
The company value will
decrease and must get

Project Lessons Learned

The lessens learned in relation to the objectives is that my team accomplished
all of the objectives without any major problems.

My team and I were able to meet all the clients timeline requirements and was
able to make everything working.

In the configureation part of the project, my team ran into minor problems with
commands not working, but was able to do research and fix the problem to
operating status.

My team and I had a hold back of 4 hours due to the change in the media
entertainment server. The media server that is installed now is new on the
market and I have no experience with it. It is now up and running for all the
guests.

The routers for the different networks worked great and had no major
problems.

The database software was installed and was working great for the front clerks
to get aware of the program before the training session.

The wireless router had some issues with the wireless connection getting to all
of the property, but with the approval of the owner we added some wireless
range extenders throughout the property to meet the wireless network
objective.
