Description

Review the deliverables you identified in your scope statement. Now think about the task required to complete each deliverable. Document them in a work breakdown structure. Be sure to watch the video on that topic. Prepare your Work Breakdown Structure after viewing the PowerPoint attached. It will explain how to complete a WBS, how to create task names, and the difference between duration and effort.

Completing the Work Breakdown Structure First Open the WBS template Gather your materials ◦ Your scope statement ◦ Your duration and effort estimates • Start by placing the name of your project in line 2 • Then • Place the deliverable titles in each of the deliverable line (i.e., line 3) • You can add line to add deliverables • Then • Place tasks in each of the task lines • these tasks are the activities that are needed to be done in order to “deliver: the deliverable • For each task, place the estimate of the duration and effort for each task in the proper column • these duration and effort estimates are done only for tasks; nothing should be in those columns for deliverables or for the project name • See as the next few slides for help on task names and durations and effort estimates Tasks Task titles tell team members what they are supposed to do ◦ They are written as direct, imperative statements ◦ They do not have to be extremely detailed ◦ When you get to MS Project, there will be a place to add detail such as check-lists, etc. ◦ They should be clear and concise ◦ Examples: ◦ Install software in Room B121 ◦ Conduct training for employee group 12 ◦ Remove old computers from rooms 615 and 617 Action …not stasis Remember ◦ You use action verbs to tell your team what they are supposed to do ◦ Micromanaging - NO ◦ Descriptive – YES ◦ Tasks involve change ◦ From one state of being to another Effort and Duration Effort (sometimes called Work) is an estimate of how long it should take to complete a task should it be done without a break ◦ Working the length of the work day over one or several days ◦ Working until it is done Duration is an estimate of the number of project calendar days you are allowing the team member (or members) to use in order to complete the task ◦ While a task may have an effort estimate of 16 hours, you realize that the team may have other duties, so you allow 3 days duration for the work to be done When Finished You Work Breakdown should be akin to the example shown in the next slide Running head: Project Management 1 Improving cloud data storage security for an organization: Student name: Institution affiliation: Date: Project Management 2 Project Selection Your Name: Your Project Title: Improving cloud data storage security for an organization A description of your project: The security improvement to cloud storage project will review & analyze several potential security threats affecting cloud data storage by utilizing a web-based platform. This will be done by replacing the current system with a new system where data can be stored with be stored with high security using Storage Efficient Secret Sharing Algorithm (SESS). Once this new system has been acquired, the old existing system will be replaced in phases & be accomplished when the new platform is operational & the old system will be antiquated. The implementation of this project will lead to greater efficiency and data security in cloud storage by ensuring data protection. This will result in improvement in the general performance of the business and customers or clients will have confidence in the business since there will be assurance of confidentiality of their information. Additionally, proper security of data in cloud storage will result in an increase in the marketability of the business and attract more clients and even investors. Improving data security in cloud storage will enhance protection and originality of store data against any external attack. Instances of insecure data deletion will be combated since when a request to delete a cloud resource is made, as with most operating systems, this may not result in true wiping of the data & also extra copies of data are stored but not available. Improvement of data security will also prevent malicious intruders from accessing the organization’s system thus preventing data breach. Also it will improve customer’s security expectations & confidence Project Management to the organization. All these impacts will ensure the efficient & effective performance of the organization. Bearing in mind the end objective of adequately moving the existing information from the old platform to the new platform, a consistent approach has been created which will bring about negligible/no disturbance to everyday operations, organization, & guarantee no distortion of information. The following approach should be followed to successfully migrate the technology: 1st phase: An established vendor with a reputation should be identified & consideration made if the technology truly needs to be moved. 2nd phase: The hardware & software should then be purchased and a system to be set & tested by IT experts. 3rd phase: Data will then be transferred & stored in a particular secure location. 4th phase: All employees should then be trained on how to use the new online platform. 5th phase: The online platform should then be fully implemented and adopted. 3 Project Management 4 PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT Note: Any work not explicitly included in the Project Scope Statement is implicitly excluded from the project. Project Name: Improving cloud data storage security for an organization Prepared by: Date: 08/31/2017 Version History Version 1.0 Date (MM/DD/YYY Y) Comments Project Management 5 1. Executive Summary Provide below a brief overview of this project (e.g., project purpose and justification): Project purpose To improve data security in cloud storage to enhance confidentiality of business information and customer satisfaction Justification Security in cloud storage is thought to be the most difficult situation where the majority of the solutions remain vulnerable. Information accessibility in cloud to each different segments of cloud made it hard to protect it from outside sources. The threat of vindictive insiders in cloud & coming up short of cloud services have gotten a solid consideration from many organizations. Security guarantees integrity, availability and confidentiality of data. Security has the attributes of a supplement to unwavering quality. 2. Business Objectives 2.1 Product Description (Solution): The information in the new web-based framework will be stored with high security utilizing Storage Efficient Secret Sharing Algorithm (SESS) actualized utilizing Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) approach. This approach guarantees that security for information against any attack. 2.2 Business Objectives: To utilize the new web-based platform to improve record keeping and information management. Project Management 6 3. Project Description For each area below, provide sufficient detail to define this project adequately: 3.1 Project Scope The scope comprises of problem statement, project description, goals & objectives, performance criteria, assumptions, constraints & major milestones, organizational impact, strategic alignment, cost benefit analysis, & approvals. ▪ ▪ Includes (list Deliverables): Does Not Include: 3.2 Project Completion Criteria: 1. Secure information management system 2. Secure Human Resource management system 3. Secure sales management system 1. Project cost 2. Implementation duration The completion criteria will involve completion of agreed deliverables, the new web-based platform installed & operational and tested. 3.3 External Dependencies: Completion of project milestones. Approval from shareholders Project Management 7 3. Project Description 3.4 Assumptions: • All staff & employees will be trained accordingly on how to handle data on a new web-based platform. • There is availability of funds for training employees. • There is availability of funds for purchasing hardware/software for a new web-based system. • All heads of departments will provide required support for successful implementation of the project. 3.5 Constraints: • IT resources available are limited to support the project implementation. • There are difficulties in preventing all cases of data breaches especially when some of the business employees are untruthful. • Support from the software/hardware developers will be limited since product developers will carry out the implementation internally. _______________________________________________________ Project Management 8 References

Explanation & Answer

Hello, I have done your work. I could not upload the WBS prepared using the WBS project since its not supported by studypool's platform. That is why I snipped and save it as a word doc. Thank you for your patience. In case of any issue inform me please.
