The project is expected to involve working with Dr. Patterson in completing and coordinating activities involved in the MSU Move project. The project will be organized in different phases and will begin with the purpose of the project and the needs of the project. The project will be described along with the objectives, criteria for success, constraints, assumptions and preliminary scope statement of the project. The same will continue to represent how to implement these strategies and work with the project towards success. 

The purpose of the project is directed towards the coordinating with different teams to ensure every classroom is fitted with computers and a network facility to enhance the operations enacted on the same. The project will work towards improving the cybersecurity status of the service, recommending the resources to be used in the same. 

The project will integrate the use of financial tools in the process of identifying and obtaining the resources for the business. Networking components, computers, and human resource personnel are to be determined and involved with the development of the project.

Project Objectives

The primary objective of the project is to improve the overall status of the computer classrooms within MSU to ensure the total facility has access to computers. Moreover, the project will involve the setting of networking infrastructure and services to ensure the computers are connected. The plan will as well include approaches towards coordinating to reduce cases of cybersecurity issues and enhance ways of storing data within the databases.

Success Criteria

Success for the project will be examined in different approaches. The speed of networks within the computer rooms, quality of the computers, space utilization and financial implications. The success will also be measured based on the security considerations of the system and how well the network will be constructed and efficiency of the same.

Constraints for the project will be many. For instance, one of the project constraints will be the financial implications, whereby the high cost of products may not be well appreciated. On the other hand, the project may face the awkwardness of the poor quality of products received from vendors that may not meet the requirements of the facility, thereby limiting the outcomes of the project. Moreover, the human resource will also be a constraint that may affect the project in question.

It is assumed that the facility in which the project is based on has an ample space where the computers will be set up, networking resources will be powered and that the institution has access to the internet. It is also assumed that the firm has access to electrical power to provide electricity to all the appliances. Moreover, it is expected that the place in which computers are located has a high level of security.

It is essential that the project describes the characteristics of the facility working with, the methods to use and how to integrate these methods to achieve best outcomes for the same.

A few risks have been identified for the MSU movement project. However, mitigation measures have already been put in place by the project manager. The risks include disruptions or daily operations during the movement and possible loss of data. The organization’s data is facing the possible risk of being hacked by cybercriminals.

Upon the completion of the MSU movement project, the following deliverables are expected to be achieved. The purchase and installation of new computer equipmentget the employee data updated after the MSU has been moved, the purchase and installation of furniture in the office and the common room. The project should also ensure that the organization’s data has been kept safe and in an organized manner.

The chart below provides the list of major milestones that will be achieved in during the project 

The above schedule covers major activities that will take place and their date of completion. It should be noted that there exist some other minor activities not included in the chart.

The table below contains the summarized budget of the entire project based on the estimated costs.

The MSU movement project will be considered successful after the computers have been successfully installed and are fully functional and all the employee data have been updated. It will also be considered successful after the furniture has been purchased and placed in the office and the common area. The success of the project will be greatly be determined by the institutions chair who will also declare the project complete.

During the entire project period, Dr. Peterson will take the role of the project manager. He will be responsible for managing all the tasks which include arranging, scheduling and communication with the project team. Dr. Peterson has been given a mandate by the school to be in charge of all the resources that will be used during the project period. Additionally, he has authority to approve all the budgets provided by the project team for funding. He also has the responsibility of providing timely updates about the project to the institution management.
