Section 1: Written Project Plan

You are now in the final stage of the project plan development. All previous documentation should be combined into one document that will serve as the statement of work for the project. Your goal is to have the project approved by the executive team. The project plan should be very detailed, which is designed to accomplish the monumental task of implementation; however, the executive team is only interested in a 30-minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail that convinces the executive team that they should move forward with your solution.

    • Describe the goals and objectives of the project.
    • Include a high-level overview of all project deliverables.
    • Give a detailed, realistically estimated cost analysis of the entire project, including human capital.
    • Relate the value of the project plan solution to the competitive advantage that information technology will afford your organization.
    • Recommend solution providers who can assist with development and implementation.
  • Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables 1-5 in which you:
    • Provide all aspects of the information technology implementation into the project plan.
    • Revise the documentation based on feedback from the earlier evaluation of your deliverable.
  • Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Section 1 of this assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
  • Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the project plan. All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the project plan.

Section 2: Revised Business Requirements Document

  1. Document all revisions made to the written project plan in the Document Control section of the business requirements document from Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirement. Note: This documentation must outline the revisions made to the previous deliverables required in Section 1: Written Project Plan.

Section 3: Project Plan PowerPoint Presentation

Additional to your detailed executive summary you must present your findings to the executive team and the venture capital group that along with the executive summary will convince the group that your solution is optimal.

  1. Create a ten to fifteen (10-15) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:
  • Illustrate the concepts from your executive summary in Section 1 of this assignment.
  • Create bulleted speaking notes for your presentation to the executive board in the Notes section of the PowerPoint. Note: You may create or assume any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a realistic flow of communication.
  • Use a professional technically written style to graphically convey the information.

Section 4: Finalized Project Plan

Use Microsoft project to:

  1. Finalize your project plan from Project Deliverable 5: Infrastructure and Security to include all necessary changes in assumptions, tasks, and / or subtasks.

Project Plan Overview
Introduction
Information is a valuable asset to any organization. Information forms the foundation upon

which every business activity is founded. Maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of
information is thus critical to the success of the company and the efficient running of operations.
An assortment of information systems within the enterprise provides sufficient storage of the
data by classifying data based on use, location or class. Thus, any modification of these systems
must be carefully managed and controlled to prevent loss of data, leakage of information or
access by unauthorized persons.
1.2

Background
Every organization must create policies that govern the handling of information as well as

detail the risks and impacts of implementation of change on these information systems. These
policies and regulations define the approach that must be utilized when managing hardware and
software components as well as the application of any modifications to the technical
infrastructure and information systems. The policies must touch on the following areas:


Compliance, governance, and security.



End users.



Costs.



Business benefits.



Application and software configuration



Technical and hardware configuration.



Health and safety

In this dynamic economy, organizations continuously face challenges in each step of the
business. Research and analytics services provide edge and competitive advantage thus enabling
these companies to overcome even the most challenging issues and thus attain objectives and
goals. By analyzing the large volumes of data generated, our company allows companies to
handle terabytes of data and derive meaningful and useful information that can be applied in the
market, (Fox, 2017). Our data and analytics services are geared towards breaking down the fuss
associated with large volumes of data thus ensuring every organization can obtain meaningful
insight. These firms can then relate the information to their clients thus maintaining the client
base and competition within the market segment.
Besides, we leverage our research, processing and data collection expertise to help
entrepreneurs make insightful business decisions that are geared towards success. We focus on
operational excellence by applying and utilizing standard industry delivery models to ensure that
organizations acquire the most from our analytics and processing services.
We primarily focus on retail and manufacturing companies, insurance industries, FMCG,
finance, and banking services. A comprehensive portfolio of the services provided by our
organization includes data processing services, domain-based analytics, financial research,
