1. Hello Class- This is a very rough draft of the assignment. I have
broken down each section and potential opportunities for you.
This is not all inclusive as you can be creative but you must
meet the deliverables of this assignment.
Scope and Schedule: At the end of week 4, you are to finalize
the initially approved scope from week two and start building
the project schedule. In this week, you are also to work on
building the project Work-Breakdown Structure (WBS). Project
scope and schedule will include the following components:
- Finalized project scope
- Project requirements – in more details
- WBS structure
- Developed project schedule
- Identify key milestones and deliverables
- Outline project resources and assign them to tasks
accordingly.
- Stakeholder engagement – communication plan
Make sure that there is a heading for each section.
Title Page – Name, date, etc
· Finalized Project Scope: Chapter 7 Scope Planning,
I just want a summary of what your final scope is.
· Project Requirements – Details
· WBS Structure- (Week 3) Chapter 7 Video, How to construct
a WBS?
·
· Developed Project Schedule – Chapter 8 Video – Develop
Project Schedule, Chapter 8 Reading Scheduling Projects – May
ways to show schedule just pick one.

2. Develop Project Schedule
Once you have an estimated duration for each activity in the
network must determine (based on durations and sequence)
whether the project can be realistically finished by the required
completion time.
· In order to do this, the contractor should estimate the duration
of each activity.
· He or she should establish an overall window of time for the
project.
Develop a project schedule that provides a timetable for each
activity and shows:
· The earliest times (or dates) at which each activity can start
and finish, based on the project estimated start time (or date)
· The latest times (or dates) by which each activity must start
and finish in order to complete the project by its required
completion time (or date)
· Incorporate Changes into Schedule
· Throughout a project, changes may occur that impact the
schedule.
· Changes might be initiated by the customer or the project
team, or they might be the result of an unanticipated
occurrence.
· Changes requested early in the project may have less of an
impact on schedule and budget than those requested later in the
project.
· When the customer requests a change, the contractor or project
team should estimate the impact on the project schedule and
budget and then obtain customer approval before proceeding.
· If the customer approves the proposed revisions to the project
schedule and budget, then any additional activities, revised
estimated durations, and revised estimated resources and
associated costs should be incorporated into the project
schedule and budget.
· With respect to the project schedule, changes can result in the
addition or deletion of activities, re-sequencing of activities,

3. changes to estimated durations for specific activities, or a new
required completion time for the project.
·
· Identify key milestones and deliverables – Write up your key
or show them on your graph and point them out. Discuss in a
summary what they are.
· Outline project resources and assign them to tasks accordingly
·

· Stakeholder engagement- communication plan
· 6-2aCreating a Stakeholder Engagement Assessment Matrix
· Project teams create a stakeholder engagement plan to define
how they will effectively engage stakeholders in planning and
performing the project based on the analysis of the
stakeholders’ needs, wants, and impacts. A primary tool used in
this plan is the stakeholder engagement assessment matrix. This
matrix typically includes a first column showing the
stakeholders. For each stakeholder, additional columns may
represent how much they are currently supporting or opposing
the project, where you would like them to be, barriers to their
changing, and strategies you may employ to move them.
Strategies for powerful and supporting stakeholders may include
accepting their ideas, compromising, or offering them trade-
offs, while strategies for opponents might entail doing the
minimum possible or fighting their demnds. It is not uncommon
to think that the best one can do with opposing stakeholders is

4. to help move them to a neutral position, while those who are
unaware of or neutral toward the project may be turned into
supporters.
· Exhibit 6.5 identifies both the current and target positions of
the stakeholder groups. The greater the change in position, the
greater the risk and the greater the engagement effort required.
Student Services had a relatively unimportant position in the old
system but would be critical to the new modularized operation.
Significant expenditure was anticipated in this area. It is of
interest to note that the initial analysis (see Exhibit 6.4) had
identified this group as “other stakeholder.” As the nature and
impact of changes become clearer, they can alter the relative
importance of different groups. Stakeholder positions and
stakeholder strategies must be reevaluated throughout the
project.

Week4_Scope and
Schedule
Finalized Scope:
The main purpose of this project is to transfer the data from one
cloud to another of high availability and performance of project,
so that we can secure the confidential files with access controls,
the data storage, servers, network infrastructure, and security
elements such as firewalls, setting up VPNs for project access
everything can be done with in a data center, so far we do have
3 data centers as 2 for production and one for disaster recovery ,
so if any disaster occurs then the data can be recovered from
disaster recovery center without any application delays.

Course : :Project Management
Course Project
Overview:
This course project introduces an opportunity to explore all the
project stages (from inception to closing) facilitated
by the well-known Project Management Group Processes
(initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, an
d closure) as outlined in the PMBOK® Guide.
Two Project Options:

10. Data Center Transformation – to complete a migration
strategy/plan to complete the following two tasks:
On-Premise Transformation
Infrastructure And Application Migration to The Cloud
Pick your own project:
Students will have the option to also choose their own proj ect –
project scope will need to be approved by the course
instructor
As you progress through the weekly materials in the course, you
will apply the key principles and knowledge areas (
Scope, cost, schedule, quality, resources, risk management,
procurement, communication, and stakeholder managem
ent) to your project. You will use Microsoft Project software to
track the entire project management plan (PMP), dev
elop the schedule, and track the overall progress of the project.
As the project manager (PM) for a medium-scale pro
ject, you will apply fundamental principles and best practices to
conduct your project from inception to closing. Eac
h assignment provides further detail.
Known Scope:
The project will address client’s needs to upgrade their 3
existing legacy data centers and migrate eligible applicatio
ns to the Cloud:
Total of 3 primary data centers (2 for Production and 1 for
Disaster Recovery)
All 3 data centers share redundant WAN circuits (2 MPLS and 1
Point-2Point) for users and data traffic
Client has a total of 145 enterprise applications and 1350
servers:

11. 450 Windows Servers
550 Unix Servers
350 ESX, VMWare, and legacy AIX servers
Allowed project budget is $1.5 Million with a $150K for
contengecies
The client is open to the top 3 Cloud providers (AWS, Azure,
and Google Cloud)
You have the ability to assemble your team
Stakeholders are also open to your specific and project needs
(define their roles and responsibilities as you see them
fit)
All 3 Data centers are in the United States – the DR DC must be
on a different State for recovery purposes
Requirements:
Meet the weekly assignments’ requirements (total of 4
assignments to complete the entire project) within the 8 week
s duration of the course.
You will be assigned as the main PM for the project, where you
will own the entire project
Your course instructor will act at the project sponsor – can
address all your questions and concerns and will provide
you feedback during the weekly assignments submissions.
The project will include internal and external stakeholders,
vendors, team members, and contractors.
A well-defined project charter must be approved by course
instructor by end of week one.
Your final project management plan as well as the weekly
submissions must adhere to the following formatting requ
irements:
APA version 7 is the required format for the entire paper.
