IT 675 Milestone Two Rubric: Implementation Plan
The final project for this course is a two-part project: an executive presentation and a technical proposal. The final project presents a detailed scenario regarding the merger of two insurance companies. For the project, the student is positioned as the chief information officer (CIO) and is asked to lead an initiative to merge the data infrastructures of both insurance companies into a single consolidated data warehouse. For this milestone (due in Module Four), you will submit your implementation plan. Review the scenario for the final assessment. Using the scenario, develop this portion of the project plan. To meet requirements you should include four aspects in the implementation plan: 1) timeline, 2) resources, 3) training, and 4) security policy.
The following critical elements will be addressed in this submission:
Implementation Plan:
Timeline: Include a reasonable timeline for implementation. Considerations include: Is there sufficient time between milestones? What milestones and key deliverables will be required to complete the data warehouse from start to finish?
Resources: What resources will be required for implementing the warehouse? Will you use your local IT department or an external vendor? What are the approximate costs for this project? Why are the resources you have identified necessary? Provide examples to support your claims.
Training: Propose a logical training plan for employees. Be sure to specify the level of training needs for various positions and explain your reasoning.
Security Policy: Craft a policy for maintaining security that meets organization needs. Considerations include, but are not limited to: Who will have access to the data warehouse? Who will you work with to determine access rights for users? Will employees have access to the records from both companies?
Guidelines for Submission: Written components of projects must follow these formatting guidelines when applicable: double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations.
Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center. For more information, review these instructions.
