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:
