Project 5: Implementation Plan
Using the group recommendation memo and merged topology, develop a high-level plan for implementing the changes and mitigating vulnerabilities and convergence issues. The high-level plan should include all the system development lifecycle (SDLC) gates/decision points and all relevant tasks.
This is a combination of a paper and a list of steps that you would follow to implement and complete this project. Think about all of the actions, resources, and tasks that you would need in order to effect a successful implementation. You can Google "IT project plans" to find a template. Below is a possible structure, with the minimum requirements laid out:

Action Plan | Beginning 1 Point | Developing 2 Points | Capable 3 Points | Powerful 4 Points |
1. context and specific outcomes described | Shows little understanding or comprehension of task | Provides partially developed context with some relationship to specific learning outcomes | Gives a generally clear articulation of context and specific learning outcomes ( rationale and learning outcomes are clear); Is partially complete, with not all critical steps listed | Is very comprehensive; gives a clear articulation of context and learning outcomes, with SDLC gate details included |
2. steps to be taken listed; resources clearly identified, with specific deadlines given | Shows little understanding or comprehension of the task; overlaps too much with regular program or course expectations | Shows gaps in the articulation of steps; is vague or lacking in details; is not detailed or too general in discussion of resources; replicates regular program or course expectations | Gives a generally clear articulation of steps/deadlines; lists adequate resources; is a realistic and substantial plan | Gives a clear and innovative articulation of steps/deadlines; lists good resources; is realistic and very substantial |
3. proposed evidence of growth given | Shows little understanding or comprehension of task | Gives limited proposed evidence of growth | Gives generally clear and specific proposed evidence of growth that is easy to picture | Gives clear and innovative proposed evidence of growth |
Remaining points will be awarded based on organization, spelling and grammar, and readability.
