Worksheet: Project Scope Statement
Project Justification
District 301 requiresthat every school site has a minimum of
one computer lab that containing 30 desktop computers. With
the beginning of 21st Century education initiatives, Common
Core State Standards, and the Smarter Balanced Assessment
systems, school District has a requirement to give additional
technology right to use for its student population. At the end of
the 2015 calendar year there are requirements to provide an
4. additional technology for the student’s.The technology used by
the present network infrastructure in the campuses will not
support the wired and the wireless network apparatus.
Overview of Deliverables
The Going Digital project deliverables contains the following
points:
· The edge and core network electronics that will support 10
Gbps speeds at each and MDF&IDF.
· At all campuses10 Gbps single mode fiber from the MDF to
every IDFs
· New channel and conduit that will allow for 40% growth.
· Network switches with 1 Gbps speeds and it will allow for
20% growth (open ports for additional drops).
· The Redundant network placed in the District Office Data
Center which supports 10 Gbps speeds for the , District Office
IDFs ,server connectivity, and core equipment connectivity.
· For the management of the network there are two software’s
1. Network configuration
2. monitoring software

Worksheet: Project Scheduling
Justification
PERT/CPM
In an effort to try and complete the Powering Forward End
Users project, the Program Evaluation Review Technique
(PERT) is adopted as a project management tool that schedule,
organize, and coordinate tasks. Using PERT, project activities
are illustrated through graphics and directional labels to
represent tasks of the project. Tasks are sequenced according to
a task that will come earlier and a task that will come later. The
importance of project scheduling in this diagram is to enhance
parallel and concurrent tasks scheduling. During project
scheduling, the time and resources allotted to the task are
9. indicated. The aim of project scheduling using PERT/CPM and
Gantt Chart is to provide directional flow of the project
activities considering the deliverables.
