Create a Work Breakdown Structure for your selected project
Using the information provided in the Ambriz and Wysocki books, along with the handout posted in the Additional Resources section of this unit, create a WBS for your selected project. At a minimum, you should identify summary tasks, detail tasks, and milestones.
You want to provide the appropriate level of detail while maintaining a reasonable number of tasks since you will be expanding on the same project schedule through the semester. While there is no minimum or maximum number of tasks, the expectation is that most students will have somewhere between 50 - 100 tasks in their WBS which will then be entered into Microsoft Project next week.
Post to forum link below and using the texts and the handout, describe the process that you used to build your Work Breakdown Structure.
Prepare your Work Breakdown Structure and upload it using the link below. You can use any format you would like (Word document, Excel worksheet, Visio diagram, Project file).

PROJECT OVERVIEW STATEMENT
Project Name
Microsoft Exchange Server Migration
Project No.
PASBO2010-01
Project Manager
Susan Nouse
Problem/Opportunity
Currently, PASBO is running Microsoft Exchange 2000 on an
eight year old server. The hardware – processor, memory and
hard drive space – is being pushed to the absolute limits. The
server is unstable which makes access to email services
unreliable. In the past year, the Exchange server has been
unavailable numerous times which is unacceptable to the
PASBO staff and has affected productivity. In addition,
Microsoft discontinued support for Microsoft Exchange 2000 on
December 31, 2005. This means that if there are any issues,
4. Microsoft will not provide assistance for resolving those issues.
Similarly, Microsoft is not releasing any additional software
patches or correcting any additional known issues. Migrating to
a newer version of Exchange using new hardware will address
these issues and provide improved service and additional
functionality to PASBO staff.
Goal
The goal of the Microsoft Exchange Server Migration project is
to install Exchange 2003/2007 on new hardware, migrate all
PASBO staff email data to this server and provide remote access
within 3 – 5 months.
Objectives
· Determine compatibility of currently used 3rd party products
with available versions of Exchange
· Select the version of Exchange for implementation based on
research of compatibility, requirements and functionality
· Install selected version of Exchange
· Migrate all staff data, including email, contacts and calendar
information, from Exchange Server 2000 to newly installed
version
· Decommission the current Microsoft Exchange server
· Provide all staff access to the newly installed Exchange server
and related services
· Provide remote access to all email services to PASBO staff
· Improve the overall email experience for PASBO staff with
added product features and functionality and ensure stability by
adhering to the 99.9% uptime standard
Success Criteria
· All email data is migrated to the new server (including email
messages, contacts and calendar information)
· All staff can remotely access their email messages, contact
and calendar information 24x7
· Server and email are more reliable and stable and consistently
meet the 99.9% standard of uptime meaning that the total
downtime per year is no more than 8 hours, 45 minutes and 57
seconds per year
5. Assumptions/Risks/Obstacles
· An assumption is that the PASBO staff will be trained to use
the new version of the Outlook Web Access client and the new
features and functionality
· Currently PASBO runs many 3rd party products that integrate
with Exchange 2000 including GFi MailEssentials (a SPAM
filter product), Sophos PureMessage (an email anti-virus tool)
and Exchange Group Calendar (a tool that automatically
consolidates all staff calendars onto one calendar).
Compatibility of these products with newer versions of
Exchange could be an obstacle
· Coordinating schedules and the amount of downtime during
the actual migration could be a risk
· My lack of Exchange 2003/2007 knowledge is an obstacle
· Availability of staff to assist with the migration is an obstacle
and could adversely affect the schedule
· User support of the switch to a new version is a potential
obstacle
