Assignment Description
There are multiple steps and tasks necessary for this Unit 1 IP a
ssignment, as follows:
1. Review the information provided in Part 1 and Part 2 below.
2.
You must meet with your team to identify the IT disciplines (sp
ecializations) that they represent and begin to form your team a
nd plan your project. Note that each member
may be viewed as the expert for his or her discipline.
3.
You will need to research and analyze (on an individual basis) t
he requirements specified in the section "New Content for Week
1: Planning and System Requirements."
Develop your own individual paper defining the necessary requi
rements from your perspective. Submit your individual paper to
the Unit 1 IP area. Further details can be
found in Part 3 below.
4.
Collaborate with your multidisciplinary team to reach a consens
us on the requirements for the Capstone project. Capture the agr
eed-upon set of requirements in the
Capstone project template. The first draft must include "DRAFT
" as part of the file name. Submit the first draft to the Group are
a so that all team members have access

2. and the instructor may view the team’s progress. Refer to Part 2
below for further details. Note, the Capstone project will build
and evolve over the upcoming weeks. The
final Capstone project will be submitted as a Group Project in U
nit 4.
Capstone Project – Informational
This part of the assignment is NOT FOR GRADING THIS WEE
K. This part of the assignment is to contribute to the Capstone p
roject and also to show the instructor that
progress is being made on the Capstone project.
Use the template provided in the section below titled "Descripti
on of Capstone Project." Submit your Capstone project-related
work to the Group submission area. Include the
word "DRAFT" in the document title. Your first draft will then
be available to share with your team. The first draft will also be
available for your instructor to view the team's
progress.
You will be developing a comprehensive Systems Implementatio
n Plan as your Capstone project (Unit 4 Group Project) in this c
ourse. For the Capstone project, you and your
team will be expected to demonstrate project management abiliti
es, communication skills within a multidisciplinary team, proble
m analysis, and the application of information
technology and related best practices toward the creation of a co
mprehensive and cohesive solution meeting organizational and u
ser requirements. As IT projects typically involve
people with diverse IT skill sets and backgrounds, this project s
hould mirror that real-world environment.
This Capstone project involves numerous IT areas including har
dware and software, application development, networking, and s
ecurity. Your team may be comprised of members

3. who represent one or more of these IT areas. You will create an
d submit individual documents that propose your individual anal
ysis during the different phases of the project. You
