Project Description
•
The project scope is to install wireless Internet access to all main floors, while simultaneously
training the employees on using MS© Office suite, and upgrading office workstations.
•
The main challenge is setting up the temporary classrooms, bringing in the instructors, provide
quality training, and upgrade the systems. All the while not losing productivity and sales.
•
The desired outcome is to certify 25 employees in MS© Office, upgrade employee workstations,
and install wireless internet.
Measurable Organizational Value (MOV)
•
Recent dashboard reviews have shown a decline in production and sales. Further analysis has
pinpointed the root to lack of knowledge, slow connectivity, and outdated workstations. The
centrally located wireless hubs will act as a focal point for each department. All data will be
collected continuously collected and force fed to the mainframe on a revolving timer. Each
department’s hub will have ample time to communicate real-time data to the hub. Department
Heads will be able to instantly evaluate their floor’s production and intervene as necessary.
ACE© employees will be fully certified MS Office suite users.
Project Scope
•
•
•
ACE© employee workstations will be outfitted with wireless internet to provide continuous use to
all members.
The new workstations will be upgraded to handle high speed internet as well as a multitude of
wires and cables.
Employees will be fully trained on operating the new system.

Quality Issues
•
My direct responsibility is to determine the best practices in regards to the situation at hand.
Aside from the comprehensive exams, practical application results will be reviewed by me and
other senior members. Senior staff is aware of their 90% directive. In the event of technical
difficulties or mechanical failure, we will make several attempts to salvage the classroom time and
not rush the lesson. Extended hours will be preferred vice adding an extra day. Achieving our
main objective will always be the focus of our attention. My intention is to be fully operational and
returning dividends by July 29th.
Resources Required
o
o
Classroom, projector, bulldozers, dumpster, ladders, computer peripherals, wireless
routers.
Transport includes: to and from airport, hotel, and local shopping up to 10 miles. Rooms
have been set aside and a concierge for each group 10 persons is set aside. All rooms
have been confirmed and the corporate funds have been held by the Helmsley Palace
Hotel™. The only other mitigating factor is the allotted time for our audio/visual
technicians for equipment transport, set-up, and testing. In addition, the lesson plan
CDs must be formatted to the hotel’s DVD system. A live feed and network hub will be
established in the grand ballroom, close enough for every class to acquire real-time
data to assist with their learning.
Assumptions and Risks
•
•
As with any change, initial use by the end user is going to be crucial in order for ACE© to make
immediate profit.
Project Constraints, working on this project cannot impact ACE©’s department’s daily purposes
or the operation of the company.
