Abstract
After finishing project plan inception with introduction
Documenting the existing IT network and system is very
important. Many businesses have a process in place to assist
with project management and implementation. One opportunity
for improvement involves making reasonable estimates of how
big a project is and how much it is going to cost. There are
many different names for tools used with this process: business
needs specification, requirements specification or, simply,
business requirements. Business requirements are the critical
activities of an enterprise that must be performed to meet the
organizational objective(s) while remaining solution
independent. A business requirements document (BRD) details
the business solution for a project including the documentation
of customer needs and expectations. If an initiative intends to
modify existing or introduce new hardware/software, a new
BRD should be created. The BRD process can be incorporated
within a Six Sigma DMAIC Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve,
and Control culture. Completion of a quality requirements
document allows user needs and expectations to be captured, so
that infrastructure and information systems can be designed
properly. Using the requirements document provided in the
course shell as a part of the requirements gathering process.
You are to assess the needs of the company as it prepares to
become a multinational organization. You must consider current
and future trends and requirements; however, assumptions
should be realistic and carefully considered. The needs of the
organization should be documented. Later deliverables will
focus on specifics of all requirements.
Here in the Business Require Document I will again
explain Project overview and current background process then I
will explain scope of the project in detail. First in the scope I
will describe the scope and analyze how to control the scope
and control of the scope. Later in the first part I will elaborate
possible risks, constraints, and assumptions then integration
with Database and Data Warehousing, Cloud Technology and
Virtualization, and Network Infrastructure and Security. In the
second section I will assess the human capital that may be
needed to complete the project, ensuring that necessary skill
sets are identified then outsourcing or offshoring needs that may
be required to accomplish project. In the last section I will
define relevant terms that will be used throughout the project
and then cost projections for staffing, infrastructure, and other
resources.

Business Requirements
Project Overview- The Project Plan of our company will
provide a definition of the project, including the project’s goals
and objectives. Additionally, the Plan will work as an
agreement between the following parties: Project Sponsor,
Steering Committee, Project Manager, Project Team, and other
personnel associated with and/or affected by the project. The
project includes the followings: project purpose, business and
project goals and objectives, scope and expectations, roles and
responsibilities, assumptions and constraints, project
management approach, ground rules for the project, project
budget, project timeline, the conceptual design of new
technology.
Background including current process- I will be the Chief
Information Officer (CIO) of this company and I was told to
merge my company to multinational company of equal size and
I will be responsible for developing a project plan to
strategically integrate all systems, including databases and
infrastructure. I will have 2-month time to expand my company
from 1 floor to 3 floors. The IT role of the project is deals with
all areas of an organization's network storage and retrieval. It
includes not only the company's computers and servers, but also
the phone networks and telecommunication. Information
technology literally manages the technology that handles a
company's information: online, on computers, on servers and on
telephones.
SCOPE
Describe the scope and analyze how to control the scope.
“In project management, the term scope has two distinct
uses- Project Scope and Product Scope” (Schwalbe, 2013).
Scope involves getting information required to start a project,
and the features the product would have that would meet its
stakeholder’s requirements. "The work that needs to be
accomplished to deliver a product, service, or result with the
specified features and functions. The features and functions that
characterize a product, service, or result. Notice that Project
Scope is more work-oriented, while Product Scope is more
oriented toward functional requirements. If requirements are not
completely defined and described and if there is no effective
change control in a project, scope or requirement creep may
ensue. Scope creep management is also important for effective
project management. Projects are expected to meet strict
deadlines with resource restraints, and an unvetted and
unapproved change in the scope can affect the success of the
project. Scope creep sometimes causes cost overrun. Scope
creep is a term, which refers to the incremental expansion of the
scope of a project, which may include and introduce more
requirements that may not have been a part of the initial
planning of the project, while nevertheless failing to adjust
schedule and budget. There are two distinct ways to separate
scope creep management. The first is business scope creep, and
the second is called features also technology scope creep. The
type of scope creep management is always dependent on the
people who create the changes. Business scope creep
management occurs when decisions that are made with reference
to a project are designed to solve or meet the requirements and
needs of the business. Business scope creep changes may be a
result of poor requirements definition early in development, or
the failure to include the users of the project until the later
stage of the systems development life cycle. Management
system. Items deemed out of scope go directly through the
change control process and are not automatically added to the
project work items. The Project Scope Management plan is
included in as one of the sections in the overall Project
Management plan. It can be very detailed and formal or loosely
framed and informal depending on the communication needs of
the project. Features Technology scope creep occurs when the
scope creep is introduced by technologists adding features not
originally contemplated. Customer-pleasing scope creep occurs
when the desire to please the customer through additional
product features adds more work to the current project rather
than to a new project proposal. Gold-plating scope creep occurs
when technologists augment the original requirements because
of a bias toward "technical perfectionism" or because the initial
requirements were insufficiently clear or detailed.
Scope Control: Any changes in the scope of the project will be
controlled through consultation with the parties in the
agreement and the permission of the Chief Executive Officer. If
control scope is allowed to creep you will lose control of the
project and unofficial changes in product scope will cause the
project to get behind schedule and to over-run its budget. The
most important aspect of this is to take consideration of the
impact of control scope on schedule, cost, quality, resources,
risk, etc. on any such potential changes to scope. Also
important is to ensure that the underlying causes of scope
change requests are fully understood and managed, and while
doing so to prevent any unnecessary change requests for
proceeding further.
Speculate and give justifications for how to control scope
Control Scope process
Changes to scope are an ongoing process that can start as soon
as the scope baseline is created.
Control Scope inputs-There are five inputs to the control scope
process:
Project management plan-This contains the scope baseline
consisting of the WBS codes WBS dictionary as well as the
project scope statement. It contains the scope management plan
describing how control scope will occur as well as the change
control plan describing the project change control system. The
project management plan also contains the configuration
management plan describing how the physical elements of the
product will be controlled, and the requirements management
plans describing how the project requirements will be managed
and controlled.
Work performance information. This provides information on
deliverable status and describes which deliverables are
complete, which are currently ‘work in progress’, and how
much work remains. It will typically also include any issues,
problems or risks that the development team is dealing with for
particular deliverables or products.
Requirements documentation. This is particularly useful as an
input because whenever a change request is raised or detected,
the requirements documentation acts as a reference to
understand what was originally agreed so that the change can be
evaluated against the backdrop of the regional requirement.
Requirements traceability matrix. -This helps the project
manager to a value weights potential changes and change
requests with regard to the original requirement. It also helps
to identify the source of each requirement select the appropriate
stakeholders can be involved and consulted as is appropriate.
Organizational process assets-This will normally cover any
particular policies and procedures that have been laid down by
the delivery organization regarding scope management. As a
consequence of scope, one of the tools is variance analysis
where the causes of such variances and lessons learned are
documented. This may cause change requests possibly for
taking corrective or preventative actions, or maybe defect
repair. The upshot of this is normally that the scope baseline
will need to be updated and that will normally mean schedule
and cost baselines need you to change as well.
Control Scope outputs.
There are five outputs from the control scope process:
Work performance measurements.-These will show how actual
progress is different from the original plan and such
measurements are collected as part of the control scope process
is used by the communications process, report performance.
Organizational process assets updates.-Whenever any form of
corrective action is implemented, it is highly likely that changes
will also need to be made to any organizational process assets,
is clearly they were not entirely adequate this time, and will
need to be updated for future projects.
Change requests-If any changes are made to the scope baseline,
then these must be incorporated as updates to the WBS. If such
a change results in enhancing the original scope, then this two
must be decomposed down to the level of work packages,
causing additional changes to other documentation.
Project management plans updates. As already stated, any
change in scope will need to be updated within the project
management plan because of resulting changes in potentially
cost, schedule, risk, quality, etc.
Project document updates. -Similar to the above examples, there
may be other documentation that needs to be updated for
example the risk logs or regular reports.
The Control Scope tool. -There is only one tool used within the
control scope process:
Variance analysis. - According to et al’. (Varianceanalysis.org)
Variance analysis is used to measure any such differences
between what was originally defined within the scope baseline
verses what was actually created, and this is a very effective
way to investigate the root causes behind such differences. (In
summary, to control scope, you will want to compare the
baseline and requirements with the current actual results by
conducting variance analysis. If a variance exists then a change
requests should be sublimated. As a result of this work
performance measurements will be created along with a updates
to the project management plan, documentation and
organizational process assets.
Identify possible risks, constraints, and assumptions.
Risk factors and Constraints
Risks factors include, but not limited to a) not having a
commercial support high enough up the corporate ladder b)
project management that has never built a data warehouse and
insists that it is done like a transaction system c) in-fighting
within your team d) fraudulent the database to be transaction-
oriented vs. aggregation oriented and e) not having your user
community involved in the requirements and development
process.
When you try to merge with multinational companies,
political risk refers to the risk that a host country will make
political decisions that will prove to have adverse effects on the
multinational's profits and/or goals. Adverse political actions
can range from very detrimental, such as widespread destruction
due to revolution, to those of a more financial nature, such as
the creation of laws that prevent the movement of capital. In
general, there are two types of political risk, macro risk and
micro risk. Macro risk refers to adverse actions that will affect
all foreign firms, such as expropriation or insurrection, whereas
micro risk refers to adverse actions that will only affect a
certain industrial sector or business, such as corruption and
prejudicial actions against companies from foreign countries.
All in all, regardless of the type of political risk that a
multinational corporation faces, companies usually will end up
losing a lot of money if they are unprepared for these adverse
situations. For example, after Fidel Castro's government took
control of Cuba in 1959, hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of American-owned assets and companies were expropriated.
Unfortunately, most, if not all, of these American companies
had no recourse for getting any of that money back.

Describe the needed integration with other systems and
infrastructure.
Database and Data Warehousing
In computing, a data warehouse or enterprise data
warehouse (DW, DWH, or EDW) is a database used for
reporting and data analysis. It is a central repository of data,
which is created by integrating data from one or more disparate
sources. Data warehouses store current as well as historical data
and are used for creating trending reports for senior
management reporting such as annual and quarterly
comparisons. The data stored in the warehouse are uploaded
from the operational systems such as marketing, sales etc.,
shown in the figure to the right. The data may pass through an
operational data store for additional operations before they are
used in the DW for reporting.
The typical ETL-based data warehouse uses staging, data
integration, and access layers to house its key functions. The
staging layer or staging database stores raw data extracted from
each of the disparate source data systems. The integration layer
integrates the disparate data sets by transforming the data from
the staging layer often storing this transformed data in an
operational data store (ODS) database. The integrated data are
then moved to yet another database, often called the data
warehouse database, where the data is arranged into hierarchical
groups often called dimensions and into facts and aggregate
facts. The combination of facts and dimensions is sometimes
called a star schema. The access layer helps users retrieve data.
Cloud Technology
Cloud computing, or something being within the cloud,
is an expression used to describe a variety of computing
concepts that involve a large number of computers connected
through a real-time communication networks such as the
Internet. In science, cloud computing is a synonym for
distributed computing over a network and means the ability to
run a program on many connected computers at the same time.
The phrase is also more commonly used to refer to network-
based services which appear to be provided by real server
hardware, which in fact are served up by virtual hardware,
simulated by software running on one or more real machines.
Such virtual servers do not physically exist and can therefore be
moved around and scaled up (or down) on the fly without
affecting the end user—arguably, rather like a cloud. The
popularity of the term can be attributed to its use in marketing
to sell hosted services in the sense of application service
provisioning that run client server software on a remote
location.
Virtualization
Virtualization, in computing, refers the act of creating a
virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including but
not limited to a virtual hardware platform, operating system
(OS), storage device, or network resources. Hardware
virtualization or platform virtualization refers to the creation of
a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an
operating system. Software executed on these virtual machines
is separated from the underlying hardware resources. For
example, a computer that is running Microsoft Windows may
host a virtual machine that looks like a computer with the
Ubuntu Linux operating system; Ubuntu-based software can be
run on the virtual machine Desktop virtualization is the concept
of separating the logical desktop from the physical machine.
One form of desktop virtualization, virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI), can be thought as a more advanced form of
hardware virtualization. Rather than interacting with a host
computer directly via a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, the user
interacts with the host computer using another desktop computer
or a mobile device by means of a network connection, such as a
LAN, Wireless LAN or even the Internet. In addition, the host
computer in this scenario becomes a server computer capable of
hosting multiple virtual machines at the same time for multiple
users. Operating system-level virtualization, hosting of multiple
virtualized environments within a single OS instance.
Application virtualization and workspace virtualization, the
hosting of individual applications in an environment separated
from the underlying OS. Application virtualization is closely
associated with the concept of portable applications. Service
virtualization, emulating the behavior of dependent (e.g., third-
party, evolving, or not implemented) system components that
are needed to exercise an application under test (AUT) for
development or testing purposes. Rather than virtualizing entire
components, it virtualizes only specific slices of dependent
behavior critical to the execution of development and testing
tasks.
Network Infrastructure and Security
Infrastructure security is the security provided to protect
infrastructure, especially critical infrastructure, such as
airports, highways rail transport, hospitals, bridges, transport
hubs, network communications, media, the electricity grid,
dams, power plants, seaports, oil refineries, and water systems.
Infrastructure security seeks to limit vulnerability of these
structures and systems to sabotage, terrorism, and
contamination. Critical infrastructures naturally utilize
information technology as this capability has become more and
more available. As a result they have become highly
interconnected, and interdependent. Intrusions and disruptions
in one infrastructure might provoke unexpected failures to
others. How to handle interdependencies becomes an important
problem. The most recent example of vulnerable infrastructure
was the electrical grid in 2003, when Northeastern American
areas experienced a power outage that appears to have
originated in the Midwest, and possibly from a tree branch.
Assess the human capital that may be needed to complete the
project, ensuring that necessary skill sets are identified.
According to et al’. (Gamage, 2013) Human Capital is
one of the key areas, which an organization should consider,
when thinking about the organizational success and existence.
Especially task related human capital helps to detect and
explore new business opportunities such as new projects, and
it’s easy to absorb new knowledge with similar prior knowledge
. Therefore task related human capital is more positively related
to business success than non-task related human capital. And
human capital is an important factor for those industries with
higher level of technology. Because skilled and experience
human resource is the only way to adopt new knowledge and
skills. And apart from those, Human capital is mostly important
for young business than, established organizations. Young
organizations need to compete with other established firms, and
this needs expertise knowledge and skills to take quick
decisions.
As I have mention in the first part of the project
inception we have currently 25 employees working in the
organization. After merging we will have about 65 employees.
CIO will be a ringmaster of this project and know everything
related to project. He is the only person who will have 100%
authority to do everything. There are many groups of people
involved in both the project and project management lifecycles.
The Project Team is the group responsible for planning
and executing the project. It consists of a Project Manager and a
variable number of Project Team members, who are brought in
to deliver their tasks according to the project schedule.
According to et al’. (Lane 2011) The Project Manager
develops the Project Plan with the team and manages the team’s
performance of project tasks. It is also the responsibility of the
Project Manager to secure acceptance and approval of
deliverables from the Project Sponsor and Stakeholders. The
Project Manager is responsible for communication, including
status reporting, risk management, escalation of issues that
cannot be resolved in the team, and, in general, making sure the
project is delivered in budget, on schedule, and within scope.
The Project Team Members are responsible for
executing tasks and producing deliverables as outlined in the
Project Plan and directed by the Project Manager, at whatever
level of effort or participation has been defined for them. On
larger projects, some Project Team members may serve as Team
Leads, providing task and technical leadership, and sometimes
maintaining a portion of the project plan.
According to et al’. (Schwalbe 2013) The Executive
Sponsor is a manager with demonstrable interest in the outcome
of the project that is ultimately responsible for securing
spending authority and resources for the project. Ideally, the
Executive Sponsor should be the highest-ranking manager
possible, in proportion to the project size and scope. The
Executive Sponsor acts as a vocal and visible champion,
legitimizes the project’s goals and objectives, keeps abreast of
major project activities, and is the ultimate decision-maker for
the project. The Executive Sponsor provides support for the
Project Sponsor and/or Project Director and Project Manager
and has final approval of all scope changes, and signs off on
approvals to proceed to each succeeding project phase. The
Executive Sponsor may elect to delegate some of the above
responsibilities to the Project Sponsor and/or Project Director.
The Project Sponsor and/or Project Director is a
manager with demonstrable interest in the outcome of the
project who is responsible for securing spending authority and
resources for the project. The Project Sponsor acts as a vocal
and visible champion, legitimizes the project’s goals and
objectives, keeps abreast of major project activities, and is a
decision-maker for the project. The Project Sponsor will
participate in and/or lead project initiation; the development of
the Project Charter. He or she will participate in project
planning (high level) and the development of the Project
Initiation Plan. The Project Sponsor provides support for the
Project Manager; assists with major issues, problems, and
policy conflicts; removes obstacles; is active in planning the
scope; approves scope changes; signs off on major deliverables;
and signs off on approvals to proceed to each succeeding
project phase. The Project Sponsor generally chairs the steering
committee on large projects. The Project Sponsor may elect to
delegate any of the above responsibilities to other personnel
either on or outside the Project Team.
We will have backup team who will take response for
Absence activities related to employees not showing up for
work such as sick leave, industrial action, etc.. Unavoidable
absence is referred to as Statutory Absence. All other categories
of absence are termed "Controllable Absence”; Collaborative
activities are related to the expenditure of time between more
than one employees within an organizational context. Examples
include: meetings, phone calls, instructor led training, etc.;
Knowledge Activities are related to time expenditures by a
single person and include finding/retrieving information,
research, email, messaging, blogging, information analysis, etc.;
and Process activities are knowledge and collaborative activities
that result due to organizational context such as errors/rework,
manual data transformation, stress, politics, etc
Speculate on possible outsourcing or offshoring needs that may
be required to accomplish project.
To “go global” in a way that works for the market
research organization and its clients, let me
Explore the critical success factors for building a client-centric
global operating model. In a way before
While we are merging with multinational company we
need outsourcing and offshoring both. All the designing,
manufacture, architecture clerk work will be offshore. While all
programming work will be done by outsourcing from India or
china to reduce the cost of the project. Decisions should not be
based exclusively on cost. A simple cost-benefit analysis may
lead to an answer that doesn’t mesh with the model you want to
build. The general Assumption is that outsourcing to countries
like India and China is a cost-saver -- but you don’t necessarily
win if the results don’t fit your desired business model or goals.
Define your business needs specifically and clearly.
Programming services, for example, can be successfully
outsourced to India, delivering tangible benefits in terms of
speed and cost. Conversely, if a project must be done in French,
the language barriers add a level of complexity, requiring
translation and extra hours that would eradicate any cost
savings found in India. In this case, keep it local. Some clients
expect a great deal of contact on a daily basis, looking for
project managers who track their field work with deep expertise
and provide a local presence for regular meetings. In this case,
an onshore person can oversee the engagement, supported by an
offshore team. For each need, categorize the client in different
tiers and identify the proper ratio of offshore to outsourcing.
The firm intends to outsource for more opportunities in
social media. It will outsource from firms that offer services on
social networking and web sites. This is to enable clients create
their profile and search for colleagues in business field,
academic institutions and for fun. The firm will outsource the
services from Friendster Corporation, which specializes on
websites and social media communication. Friendster will
assist users create blogs and watch videos from the websites.
The services will allow users to adjust their personal profiles
through various applications provided within the platform. This
firm intends to get revenue through the advertisements in the
web sites and social media. This is because; the advertisers
usually target all users irrespective of their age groups or
ethnicity. This will create great revenue for this firm whilst
cutting on labor costs. Outsourcing will be like Data Processing
and Data Conversion -Data Collection and processing in MS
Excel, CSV and Other databases format to SPSS, Quantum, SAS
etc. for further processing. Data Processing: Banner Tables Data
processing and converting in tabulated form Data Processing:
Data Analysis Services Advanced statistical services to promote
fact based decision making for companies.
Define relevant terms that will be used throughout the Project
Terms that will be use throughout the project for purpose
and structure of a project, committee, meeting, negotiation, or
any similar collection of people who have agreed to work
together to accomplish a shared goal. The terms of reference of
a project are often referred to as the project charter. Terms of
reference show how the scope will be defined, developed, and
verified. They should also provide a documented basis for
making future decisions and for confirming or developing a
common understanding of the scope among stakeholders. In
order to meet these criteria, success factors/risks and restraints
should be fundamental keys. Creating detailed terms of
reference is critical, as they define the:
Vision, objectives, scope and deliverables (i.e. what has to be
achieved)
Stakeholders, roles and responsibilities (i.e. who will take part
in it)
Resource, financial and quality plans (i.e. how it will be
achieved)
Work breakdown structure and schedule (i.e. when it will be
achieved
The "terms of reference" are created during the earlier
stages of project management, immediately after the approval of
a project business case. They are documented by the project
manager and presented to project sponsor or sponsors for
approval. Once the terms have been approved, the members of
the project team have a clear definition of the scope of the
project. They will then be ready to progress with the creation of
the remaining project deliverables. This phrase is often used
when describing the task that has been assigned to a consultant
or advisor. As such, the consultant or advisor may be engaged
via a contract with general terms of engagement that also
incorporates the terms of reference that specifically describe the
consultant's task.
Include Cost projection for staffing, infrastructure and other
resources.
Employee salaries and benefits make up the majority of
the state-operating budget. Agencies regularly monitor expenses
and the resulting effect on the budget. Budgets are managed in
Accounting System.HR/Payroll changes throughout the fiscal
year can dramatically impact an agency's budget. Some
examples of HR/Payroll events that affect budget projections
are:
Across-the-board salary adjustments
Adding new positions
Employee changes: Leaves of Absence, retirements, and layoffs
Changes to benefit rates
Existing employees
Vacant positions that have a date in the "Intend to fill" field
Future salary, benefit rate, and other changes affecting large
number of positions
Costs of Project
Noticeable costs associated are listed in the following table

1 Business Requirements
1.1 Project Overview
The plan of the project is to depict the merge of two companies.
The project plan will
give a project definition and will include the project goals and
objectives. The project plan will
include the purpose of the company along with the goals and
objectives of the company and
presented as an agreement between the CЕO’s of both
companies, merge sponsors, venture
managers with both companies. The project plan will cover
assumptions, Risks, constraints,
responsibilities, project budget and project timeline. The plan
will go step by step which will
portrait the merge of Dureka,LLC which is a physical teaching
institute to a hundred percent
online platform Demy, LLC. The merge is going to change the
perspective of one to all for
teaching profession which will cross all the geographical
boundaries.
1.2 Background including current process
Describe the background to the project, (same section may be
reused in the Quality Plan)
This project is about the merge of two companies who train the
individual professionals to land
in IT sector. The background of our company is that we provide
IT training to professionals and
create mock project to have hands on experience in real world
problems. I will be Chief
Information officer of company Dureka, LLC and updated to
merge our company to another
online equal size company. I have got 60 days to design the
project plan and depicts a model
which will depicts how the company expands from one floor to
three floor. Currently, I will be
working on integrating not only two different companies but
also the all the possibilities to deal
with the network storage, servers , telephones , sites, interfaces
to integrate and operational under
one roof.

The project goal is to set up a successful online learning
platform for all the current
technologies with the merge of Dureka, LLC with another equal
size company Demy, LLC. The
merge will provide hundred percent online classes without any
geographical boundaries to
students and it will bring the potential of both the companies on
one platform. Dureka, LLC
while being popular for hands on experience and live classes
while Demy ,LLC already having
established clientele for online trainings.
1.3 Scope
1.3.1 Scope of Project
The scope of this project includes a number of areas. For each
area, there should be a
corresponding strategy for incorporating these areas into the
overall project.
Application: The application which are considerable
to implement in the project are to
process the payments, to track the employees check in and
check out. Third
is the monthly audit and furthermore is to increase the network.
The project
scope will consider these requirements and proceed further.
There would be
another application required for online order processing which
will help the
students to pick the course as per their requirements, choose the
timings
from the available time slots and check out with the orders.
Sites: In this merge two sites need to be
considered. One is the physical site
where both the company’s employees will sit and work after
merge. The
physical space should be finalized as per the agreement of both
companies in Ashburn, VA. And other is the website of the
company and
the data centers in to a consolidated facility from where it can
utilized to
most. In the project, it need to be finalize the plus points of
both the
companies should be posted on website to capture big client
line. The
RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT
6
workspace will be sorted in the second phase after doing the
physical
layout of the building which will introduce new systems and
policies
Process Re-engineering: Re-engineering is the process to alter a
software in such a way which
help to improve the maintainability of the system or help to re-
constitute
the system in a new form. But it is not the easy step to follow.
It carries
tearing down the existing step where employees are used to
work and
brings in a new modified system with lots of new changes. In
this case, I
believe the main change would be the getting the whole data
sort out and
to make it easily accessible for the new venture. It can include
the re-
engineering of storage space from physical servers or hard
drives to
cloud. which can increase the availability for any hundred
percent online
platform. Also, it will include the re-engineering of the existing
security
procedure. I will suggest introducing the biometrics security
layer. And to
enter in to the new building a new sensor would be provided to
each
employee.
Customization: Customizations will be limited to storage and
payment modes. Any
customization made in project scope must be incorporated in
work break
down structure. The merge will bring the customization to the to
the way
the employees used to work. But the customization can be seen
once the
project baseline has been placed. With every step on work break
down
RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT
7
structures the requirements will be seen and the changes will be
made
accordingly.
Interfaces: I would keep the interface same as per the existing
interface of both
companies which was Graphical user interface. Since it is going
to be
online teaching platform there is a large scope of remote
employment in
the company. Hence, I will suggest consolidating VPN systems
which
require the support to both Mac and Windows environments.
Architecture: Application and Technical Architecture will be
designed as per the site.
The network architecture is fully established picture of network
which
shows how the work is being done in the organization. I will
discuss
about both Hardware and software architecture. I will suggest
decommissioning the old hardware and replace them with
energy
efficient hardware. Furthermore, to support the various software
I would
suggest introducing virtualization which will save on the cost of
hardware
to run critical applications. On the software side, application
server
technologies and web server technologies would be
consolidated. To
consolidate the business data, I will prefer to give priority to
DBMS
technologies.
RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT
8
Conversion I will suggest encrypting all the existing data of the
customers. I will
suggest using encryption technologies store and retrieve
sensitive data.
Testing Testing will include both hardware and software
testing. It will test the
new implemented applications along with the data center
changes. Also,
we will do the demo testing for the online class in two different
time
zones to check the latency in deliveries. All the applications
will be tested
to see the compatibility with Windows and Mac OS. The
diagnosed
problems will be reported to the engineers and the development
team will
fix the bugs.
Funding Project funding will include to cover physical structure
of the new site,
new hardware and software, purchase of new storage units,
funding for
engineers to consolidate all the items and put together for new
working
environment on new site.
Training & Еducation: Training will include the access of files
on new infrastructure to
conclude the online classes from new single sign on Portal and
education
programs for MS SharePoint site. Еducation will include the
more or less
same as training but since the platform is going to be global
teachers have
to learn about posting the lectures in time tables as per any
particular time
zone. So, project management team will make sure to educate
the
teachers to post the videos, lectures, materials and webinars are
posted on
right place for access to enrolled clients. The team will conduct
the
hands-on training

1.3.2 Constraints and Assumptions
� Project constraints will include the project scope which will
cover the project
scope, the WBS which is basically the schedule and the cost.
The changes in
deliverables will change affect all other elements.
� The employees of both the companies are not familiar with
each other’s
environment.
� Еxisting staff will share the knowledge of the existing
resources they used to
work on. And it will be useful for new merge.
� There would be requirement of compliance with other
country’ policies and
other regulatory requirements for accounting and finance.
The following assumptions have been made in defining the
scope, objectives and
approach:
� I have assumed that there is limited funding is available and
no additional
funding would be provided in case project goes out of track.
� I have assumed that there would be clear communication and
follow up in
entire team on the project.
� I have assumed that manual copy of project would be ready as
per work break
down structure and signed timely.
� I have assumed that there is big scope of business for this
platform even on
initial stage after launch.
RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT
10
� Another assumption is that project would be open for to
utilize the resources
from third party vendors.
Risks:
The project would need to conclude on different technologies to
be on global
platform so that the company information is available to all who
look for similar
services without any geographical limitations.
� The risks factors can be considered for any company which is
going global are
political factors. There can be issues for the organization for
providing the
services in other country. There can be multiple tax issues.
There can be
foreign exchange risk. Furthermore, other countries can ban
such online
platforms which are not encouraging for local employers. The
following risks
have been identified as possibly affecting the project during its
progression:
� This can lead the company to face unknown situations as
many countries in
Asia for instance; China, United Arab Еmirates block access to
the sites being
hosted for United states.
� There are unrealistic cost estimates.
� Еmployees will have lack of knowledge of the new system
which will lead to
errors in hosting live classes.
� There is a risk of audit while being global as it would be a
prior requirement
to understand the taxation of other countries and accomplish
that in the right
way.
RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT
11
� While implementing the system, there would be issue to
follow the project
work break down structure for the employees. Project might go
out of track.
1.3.3 Scope Control
The control of changes to the scope identified in this document
will be managed
through the Change Control, with business owner representative
approval for any
changes that affect cost or timeline for the project. Inofficial
changes will lead to
lose the control on the project. And any uncontrolled project
will lead to go out of
budget. The significantly important aspect is to take the charge
of the schedule,
funds, resources, manpower, cost and risk aspects.
Any changes in the scope of the project will be controlled
through consultation with the parties
in the agreement and the permission of the Chief Еxecutive
Officer. If control scope can creep
you will lose control of the project and unofficial changes in
product scope will cause the project
to get behind schedule and to over-run its budget. The most
important aspect of this is to take
consideration of the impact of control scope on schedule, cost,
quality, resources, risk, etc. on
any such potential changes to scope. Also important is to
ensure that the underlying causes of
scope change requests are fully understood and managed, and
while doing so to prevent any
unnecessary change requests for proceeding further.

1.3.4 Relationship to Other Systems/Projects
It is the responsibility of the business unit to inform IT of other
business
initiatives that may impact the project. The following are
known business
initiatives:
The management should make sure that all the activities on
various phases of the
project are inclined with the break down structure.
Any procurement for third party vendors should be scheduled as
per work break
down structure.
Since new database would be implemented for the merge of both
the companies.
The project management team should make sure with both
companies to work
closely and provides the consistency of the entire platform.

Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements
Due Week 4 and worth 120 points
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a business
requirements document and a project plan. You must submit
both sections as separate files for the completion of this
assignment. Label each file name according to the section of
the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create
and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for
the completion of this assignment.
Documenting the existing IT network and system is an
important first step, but you, the CIO, know that capturing
the needed changes can be critical to your success as an
executive. You know that procuring and documenting
quality business requirements is an important step toward the
design of quality information systems. Completion of
a quality requirements document allows user needs and
expectations to be captured, so that infrastructure and
information systems can be designed properly. Using the
requirements document provided in the course shell as a
part of the requirements gathering process, you are to assess the
needs of the company as it prepares to become a
multinational organization. You must consider current and
future trends and requirements; however, assumptions
should be realistic and carefully considered. The needs of the
organization should be documented. Later deliverables
will focus on specifics of all requirements.
Section 1: Business Requirements Document
Write a four to six (4-6) page original business requirements
document for the project plan using the template
provided here. Note: The template can also be found in the
Student Center of the online course shell.
Describe the project needs, including the following:
1. Describe the scope and analyze how to control the scope.
2. Speculate and give justifications for how to control scope.
3. Identify possible risks, constraints, and assumptions.
4. Describe the needed integration with other systems and
infrastructure. Note: Database and Data Warehousing, Cloud
Technology and Virtualization, and Network Infrastructure and
Security.
5. Assess the human capital that may be needed to complete the
project, ensuring that necessary skill sets are
identified.
6. Speculate on possible outsourcing or offshoring needs that
may be required to accomplish project.
7. Define relevant terms that will be used throughout the
project.
8. Include cost projections for staffing, infrastructure, and other
resources.
9. Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment.
Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as
quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
� Use the provided Business Requirements Document template
as a guide for this assignment.
� Citations and references must follow APA or school-specific
format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
Section 2: Revised Project Plan
Use Microsoft Project to:
1. Update the project plan (summary and detail) template, from
Project Deliverable 1: Project Plan Inception, with
three to five (3-5) new project tasks, each consisting of five to
ten (5-10) subtasks.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
� Describe the integrative functions and activities within the
information systems area, including the role of the CIO
and technologies managed within the organization.
� Evaluate how information technology (IT) is aligned with the
strategy of the organization, and how to make
appropriate choices about architecture in relationship to overall
organization goals.
� Use technology and information resources to research issues
in information systems.
� Write clearly and concisely about leadership issues and
strategic insight of the Information systems domain using
proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Many businesses have a process in place to assist with project management and implementation. One opportunity for improvement involves making reasonable estimates of how big a project is and how much it is going to cost. There are many different names for tools used with this process: business needs specification, requirements specification or, simply, business requirements. Business requirements are the critical
  • 3. activities of an enterprise that must be performed to meet the organizational objective(s) while remaining solution independent. A business requirements document (BRD) details the business solution for a project including the documentation of customer needs and expectations. If an initiative intends to modify existing or introduce new hardware/software, a new BRD should be created. The BRD process can be incorporated within a Six Sigma DMAIC Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control culture. Completion of a quality requirements document allows user needs and expectations to be captured, so that infrastructure and information systems can be designed properly. Using the requirements document provided in the course shell as a part of the requirements gathering process. You are to assess the needs of the company as it prepares to become a multinational organization. You must consider current and future trends and requirements; however, assumptions should be realistic and carefully considered. The needs of the organization should be documented. Later deliverables will focus on specifics of all requirements. Here in the Business Require Document I will again explain Project overview and current background process then I will explain scope of the project in detail. First in the scope I will describe the scope and analyze how to control the scope and control of the scope. Later in the first part I will elaborate possible risks, constraints, and assumptions then integration with Database and Data Warehousing, Cloud Technology and Virtualization, and Network Infrastructure and Security. In the second section I will assess the human capital that may be needed to complete the project, ensuring that necessary skill sets are identified then outsourcing or offshoring needs that may be required to accomplish project. In the last section I will define relevant terms that will be used throughout the project and then cost projections for staffing, infrastructure, and other resources.

  • 6. and objectives. Additionally, the Plan will work as an agreement between the following parties: Project Sponsor, Steering Committee, Project Manager, Project Team, and other personnel associated with and/or affected by the project. The project includes the followings: project purpose, business and project goals and objectives, scope and expectations, roles and responsibilities, assumptions and constraints, project management approach, ground rules for the project, project budget, project timeline, the conceptual design of new technology. Background including current process- I will be the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of this company and I was told to merge my company to multinational company of equal size and I will be responsible for developing a project plan to strategically integrate all systems, including databases and infrastructure. I will have 2-month time to expand my company from 1 floor to 3 floors. The IT role of the project is deals with all areas of an organization's network storage and retrieval. It includes not only the company's computers and servers, but also the phone networks and telecommunication. Information technology literally manages the technology that handles a company's information: online, on computers, on servers and on telephones. SCOPE Describe the scope and analyze how to control the scope. “In project management, the term scope has two distinct uses- Project Scope and Product Scope” (Schwalbe, 2013). Scope involves getting information required to start a project, and the features the product would have that would meet its stakeholder’s requirements. "The work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified features and functions. The features and functions that
  • 7. characterize a product, service, or result. Notice that Project Scope is more work-oriented, while Product Scope is more oriented toward functional requirements. If requirements are not completely defined and described and if there is no effective change control in a project, scope or requirement creep may ensue. Scope creep management is also important for effective project management. Projects are expected to meet strict deadlines with resource restraints, and an unvetted and unapproved change in the scope can affect the success of the project. Scope creep sometimes causes cost overrun. Scope creep is a term, which refers to the incremental expansion of the scope of a project, which may include and introduce more requirements that may not have been a part of the initial planning of the project, while nevertheless failing to adjust schedule and budget. There are two distinct ways to separate scope creep management. The first is business scope creep, and the second is called features also technology scope creep. The type of scope creep management is always dependent on the people who create the changes. Business scope creep management occurs when decisions that are made with reference to a project are designed to solve or meet the requirements and needs of the business. Business scope creep changes may be a result of poor requirements definition early in development, or the failure to include the users of the project until the later stage of the systems development life cycle. Management system. Items deemed out of scope go directly through the change control process and are not automatically added to the project work items. The Project Scope Management plan is included in as one of the sections in the overall Project Management plan. It can be very detailed and formal or loosely framed and informal depending on the communication needs of the project. Features Technology scope creep occurs when the scope creep is introduced by technologists adding features not originally contemplated. Customer-pleasing scope creep occurs when the desire to please the customer through additional product features adds more work to the current project rather
  • 8. than to a new project proposal. Gold-plating scope creep occurs when technologists augment the original requirements because of a bias toward "technical perfectionism" or because the initial requirements were insufficiently clear or detailed. Scope Control: Any changes in the scope of the project will be controlled through consultation with the parties in the agreement and the permission of the Chief Executive Officer. If control scope is allowed to creep you will lose control of the project and unofficial changes in product scope will cause the project to get behind schedule and to over-run its budget. The most important aspect of this is to take consideration of the impact of control scope on schedule, cost, quality, resources, risk, etc. on any such potential changes to scope. Also important is to ensure that the underlying causes of scope change requests are fully understood and managed, and while doing so to prevent any unnecessary change requests for proceeding further. Speculate and give justifications for how to control scope Control Scope process Changes to scope are an ongoing process that can start as soon as the scope baseline is created. Control Scope inputs-There are five inputs to the control scope process: Project management plan-This contains the scope baseline consisting of the WBS codes WBS dictionary as well as the project scope statement. It contains the scope management plan describing how control scope will occur as well as the change control plan describing the project change control system. The project management plan also contains the configuration management plan describing how the physical elements of the
  • 9. product will be controlled, and the requirements management plans describing how the project requirements will be managed and controlled. Work performance information. This provides information on deliverable status and describes which deliverables are complete, which are currently ‘work in progress’, and how much work remains. It will typically also include any issues, problems or risks that the development team is dealing with for particular deliverables or products. Requirements documentation. This is particularly useful as an input because whenever a change request is raised or detected, the requirements documentation acts as a reference to understand what was originally agreed so that the change can be evaluated against the backdrop of the regional requirement. Requirements traceability matrix. -This helps the project manager to a value weights potential changes and change requests with regard to the original requirement. It also helps to identify the source of each requirement select the appropriate stakeholders can be involved and consulted as is appropriate. Organizational process assets-This will normally cover any particular policies and procedures that have been laid down by the delivery organization regarding scope management. As a consequence of scope, one of the tools is variance analysis where the causes of such variances and lessons learned are documented. This may cause change requests possibly for taking corrective or preventative actions, or maybe defect repair. The upshot of this is normally that the scope baseline will need to be updated and that will normally mean schedule and cost baselines need you to change as well. Control Scope outputs. There are five outputs from the control scope process:
  • 10. Work performance measurements.-These will show how actual progress is different from the original plan and such measurements are collected as part of the control scope process is used by the communications process, report performance. Organizational process assets updates.-Whenever any form of corrective action is implemented, it is highly likely that changes will also need to be made to any organizational process assets, is clearly they were not entirely adequate this time, and will need to be updated for future projects. Change requests-If any changes are made to the scope baseline, then these must be incorporated as updates to the WBS. If such a change results in enhancing the original scope, then this two must be decomposed down to the level of work packages, causing additional changes to other documentation. Project management plans updates. As already stated, any change in scope will need to be updated within the project management plan because of resulting changes in potentially cost, schedule, risk, quality, etc. Project document updates. -Similar to the above examples, there may be other documentation that needs to be updated for example the risk logs or regular reports. The Control Scope tool. -There is only one tool used within the control scope process: Variance analysis. - According to et al’. (Varianceanalysis.org) Variance analysis is used to measure any such differences between what was originally defined within the scope baseline verses what was actually created, and this is a very effective way to investigate the root causes behind such differences. (In summary, to control scope, you will want to compare the
  • 11. baseline and requirements with the current actual results by conducting variance analysis. If a variance exists then a change requests should be sublimated. As a result of this work performance measurements will be created along with a updates to the project management plan, documentation and organizational process assets. Identify possible risks, constraints, and assumptions. Risk factors and Constraints Risks factors include, but not limited to a) not having a commercial support high enough up the corporate ladder b) project management that has never built a data warehouse and insists that it is done like a transaction system c) in-fighting within your team d) fraudulent the database to be transaction- oriented vs. aggregation oriented and e) not having your user community involved in the requirements and development process. When you try to merge with multinational companies, political risk refers to the risk that a host country will make political decisions that will prove to have adverse effects on the multinational's profits and/or goals. Adverse political actions can range from very detrimental, such as widespread destruction due to revolution, to those of a more financial nature, such as the creation of laws that prevent the movement of capital. In general, there are two types of political risk, macro risk and micro risk. Macro risk refers to adverse actions that will affect all foreign firms, such as expropriation or insurrection, whereas micro risk refers to adverse actions that will only affect a certain industrial sector or business, such as corruption and prejudicial actions against companies from foreign countries. All in all, regardless of the type of political risk that a multinational corporation faces, companies usually will end up losing a lot of money if they are unprepared for these adverse situations. For example, after Fidel Castro's government took
  • 12. control of Cuba in 1959, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American-owned assets and companies were expropriated. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of these American companies had no recourse for getting any of that money back.

  • 13. The following assumptions were made in preparing the Project Plan: 1. I have assumed that all project plan policy has been written and manual is ready. 2. There will no issue with budget of the project. There will be no problem regarding finance. 3. Written agreement has already been signed with multinational company as far as merging is Concern. 4. All the team member will join regular meeting as per cycle for timely implementation of the project. 5.Failure to identify changes to draft deliverables within the time specific in the project timeline will result in project delays. 6.I have assumed that the entire project member will follow Communication Plan. 7.Mid and upper management will foster support and buy in of project goals and objectives. 8.The city will ensure the continuation of a technological infrastructure that can support the new mobile technology. 9.All project participants will abide by the guiding principle identified within this plan. 10.Some of my team member always communicates with the entire multinational company team member.
  • 14. Describe the needed integration with other systems and infrastructure. Database and Data Warehousing In computing, a data warehouse or enterprise data warehouse (DW, DWH, or EDW) is a database used for reporting and data analysis. It is a central repository of data, which is created by integrating data from one or more disparate sources. Data warehouses store current as well as historical data and are used for creating trending reports for senior management reporting such as annual and quarterly comparisons. The data stored in the warehouse are uploaded from the operational systems such as marketing, sales etc., shown in the figure to the right. The data may pass through an operational data store for additional operations before they are used in the DW for reporting. The typical ETL-based data warehouse uses staging, data integration, and access layers to house its key functions. The staging layer or staging database stores raw data extracted from each of the disparate source data systems. The integration layer integrates the disparate data sets by transforming the data from the staging layer often storing this transformed data in an operational data store (ODS) database. The integrated data are then moved to yet another database, often called the data warehouse database, where the data is arranged into hierarchical groups often called dimensions and into facts and aggregate facts. The combination of facts and dimensions is sometimes called a star schema. The access layer helps users retrieve data. Cloud Technology Cloud computing, or something being within the cloud, is an expression used to describe a variety of computing concepts that involve a large number of computers connected
  • 15. through a real-time communication networks such as the Internet. In science, cloud computing is a synonym for distributed computing over a network and means the ability to run a program on many connected computers at the same time. The phrase is also more commonly used to refer to network- based services which appear to be provided by real server hardware, which in fact are served up by virtual hardware, simulated by software running on one or more real machines. Such virtual servers do not physically exist and can therefore be moved around and scaled up (or down) on the fly without affecting the end user—arguably, rather like a cloud. The popularity of the term can be attributed to its use in marketing to sell hosted services in the sense of application service provisioning that run client server software on a remote location. Virtualization Virtualization, in computing, refers the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including but not limited to a virtual hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or network resources. Hardware virtualization or platform virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an operating system. Software executed on these virtual machines is separated from the underlying hardware resources. For example, a computer that is running Microsoft Windows may host a virtual machine that looks like a computer with the Ubuntu Linux operating system; Ubuntu-based software can be run on the virtual machine Desktop virtualization is the concept of separating the logical desktop from the physical machine. One form of desktop virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), can be thought as a more advanced form of hardware virtualization. Rather than interacting with a host computer directly via a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, the user
  • 16. interacts with the host computer using another desktop computer or a mobile device by means of a network connection, such as a LAN, Wireless LAN or even the Internet. In addition, the host computer in this scenario becomes a server computer capable of hosting multiple virtual machines at the same time for multiple users. Operating system-level virtualization, hosting of multiple virtualized environments within a single OS instance. Application virtualization and workspace virtualization, the hosting of individual applications in an environment separated from the underlying OS. Application virtualization is closely associated with the concept of portable applications. Service virtualization, emulating the behavior of dependent (e.g., third- party, evolving, or not implemented) system components that are needed to exercise an application under test (AUT) for development or testing purposes. Rather than virtualizing entire components, it virtualizes only specific slices of dependent behavior critical to the execution of development and testing tasks. Network Infrastructure and Security Infrastructure security is the security provided to protect infrastructure, especially critical infrastructure, such as airports, highways rail transport, hospitals, bridges, transport hubs, network communications, media, the electricity grid, dams, power plants, seaports, oil refineries, and water systems. Infrastructure security seeks to limit vulnerability of these structures and systems to sabotage, terrorism, and contamination. Critical infrastructures naturally utilize information technology as this capability has become more and more available. As a result they have become highly interconnected, and interdependent. Intrusions and disruptions in one infrastructure might provoke unexpected failures to others. How to handle interdependencies becomes an important problem. The most recent example of vulnerable infrastructure was the electrical grid in 2003, when Northeastern American
  • 17. areas experienced a power outage that appears to have originated in the Midwest, and possibly from a tree branch. Assess the human capital that may be needed to complete the project, ensuring that necessary skill sets are identified. According to et al’. (Gamage, 2013) Human Capital is one of the key areas, which an organization should consider, when thinking about the organizational success and existence. Especially task related human capital helps to detect and explore new business opportunities such as new projects, and it’s easy to absorb new knowledge with similar prior knowledge . Therefore task related human capital is more positively related to business success than non-task related human capital. And human capital is an important factor for those industries with higher level of technology. Because skilled and experience human resource is the only way to adopt new knowledge and skills. And apart from those, Human capital is mostly important for young business than, established organizations. Young organizations need to compete with other established firms, and this needs expertise knowledge and skills to take quick decisions. As I have mention in the first part of the project inception we have currently 25 employees working in the organization. After merging we will have about 65 employees. CIO will be a ringmaster of this project and know everything related to project. He is the only person who will have 100% authority to do everything. There are many groups of people involved in both the project and project management lifecycles. The Project Team is the group responsible for planning and executing the project. It consists of a Project Manager and a variable number of Project Team members, who are brought in to deliver their tasks according to the project schedule. According to et al’. (Lane 2011) The Project Manager
  • 18. develops the Project Plan with the team and manages the team’s performance of project tasks. It is also the responsibility of the Project Manager to secure acceptance and approval of deliverables from the Project Sponsor and Stakeholders. The Project Manager is responsible for communication, including status reporting, risk management, escalation of issues that cannot be resolved in the team, and, in general, making sure the project is delivered in budget, on schedule, and within scope. The Project Team Members are responsible for executing tasks and producing deliverables as outlined in the Project Plan and directed by the Project Manager, at whatever level of effort or participation has been defined for them. On larger projects, some Project Team members may serve as Team Leads, providing task and technical leadership, and sometimes maintaining a portion of the project plan. According to et al’. (Schwalbe 2013) The Executive Sponsor is a manager with demonstrable interest in the outcome of the project that is ultimately responsible for securing spending authority and resources for the project. Ideally, the Executive Sponsor should be the highest-ranking manager possible, in proportion to the project size and scope. The Executive Sponsor acts as a vocal and visible champion, legitimizes the project’s goals and objectives, keeps abreast of major project activities, and is the ultimate decision-maker for the project. The Executive Sponsor provides support for the Project Sponsor and/or Project Director and Project Manager and has final approval of all scope changes, and signs off on approvals to proceed to each succeeding project phase. The Executive Sponsor may elect to delegate some of the above responsibilities to the Project Sponsor and/or Project Director. The Project Sponsor and/or Project Director is a manager with demonstrable interest in the outcome of the project who is responsible for securing spending authority and
  • 19. resources for the project. The Project Sponsor acts as a vocal and visible champion, legitimizes the project’s goals and objectives, keeps abreast of major project activities, and is a decision-maker for the project. The Project Sponsor will participate in and/or lead project initiation; the development of the Project Charter. He or she will participate in project planning (high level) and the development of the Project Initiation Plan. The Project Sponsor provides support for the Project Manager; assists with major issues, problems, and policy conflicts; removes obstacles; is active in planning the scope; approves scope changes; signs off on major deliverables; and signs off on approvals to proceed to each succeeding project phase. The Project Sponsor generally chairs the steering committee on large projects. The Project Sponsor may elect to delegate any of the above responsibilities to other personnel either on or outside the Project Team. We will have backup team who will take response for Absence activities related to employees not showing up for work such as sick leave, industrial action, etc.. Unavoidable absence is referred to as Statutory Absence. All other categories of absence are termed "Controllable Absence”; Collaborative activities are related to the expenditure of time between more than one employees within an organizational context. Examples include: meetings, phone calls, instructor led training, etc.; Knowledge Activities are related to time expenditures by a single person and include finding/retrieving information, research, email, messaging, blogging, information analysis, etc.; and Process activities are knowledge and collaborative activities that result due to organizational context such as errors/rework, manual data transformation, stress, politics, etc Speculate on possible outsourcing or offshoring needs that may be required to accomplish project. To “go global” in a way that works for the market research organization and its clients, let me
  • 20. Explore the critical success factors for building a client-centric global operating model. In a way before While we are merging with multinational company we need outsourcing and offshoring both. All the designing, manufacture, architecture clerk work will be offshore. While all programming work will be done by outsourcing from India or china to reduce the cost of the project. Decisions should not be based exclusively on cost. A simple cost-benefit analysis may lead to an answer that doesn’t mesh with the model you want to build. The general Assumption is that outsourcing to countries like India and China is a cost-saver -- but you don’t necessarily win if the results don’t fit your desired business model or goals. Define your business needs specifically and clearly. Programming services, for example, can be successfully outsourced to India, delivering tangible benefits in terms of speed and cost. Conversely, if a project must be done in French, the language barriers add a level of complexity, requiring translation and extra hours that would eradicate any cost savings found in India. In this case, keep it local. Some clients expect a great deal of contact on a daily basis, looking for project managers who track their field work with deep expertise and provide a local presence for regular meetings. In this case, an onshore person can oversee the engagement, supported by an offshore team. For each need, categorize the client in different tiers and identify the proper ratio of offshore to outsourcing. The firm intends to outsource for more opportunities in social media. It will outsource from firms that offer services on social networking and web sites. This is to enable clients create their profile and search for colleagues in business field, academic institutions and for fun. The firm will outsource the services from Friendster Corporation, which specializes on websites and social media communication. Friendster will assist users create blogs and watch videos from the websites. The services will allow users to adjust their personal profiles
  • 21. through various applications provided within the platform. This firm intends to get revenue through the advertisements in the web sites and social media. This is because; the advertisers usually target all users irrespective of their age groups or ethnicity. This will create great revenue for this firm whilst cutting on labor costs. Outsourcing will be like Data Processing and Data Conversion -Data Collection and processing in MS Excel, CSV and Other databases format to SPSS, Quantum, SAS etc. for further processing. Data Processing: Banner Tables Data processing and converting in tabulated form Data Processing: Data Analysis Services Advanced statistical services to promote fact based decision making for companies. Define relevant terms that will be used throughout the Project Terms that will be use throughout the project for purpose and structure of a project, committee, meeting, negotiation, or any similar collection of people who have agreed to work together to accomplish a shared goal. The terms of reference of a project are often referred to as the project charter. Terms of reference show how the scope will be defined, developed, and verified. They should also provide a documented basis for making future decisions and for confirming or developing a common understanding of the scope among stakeholders. In order to meet these criteria, success factors/risks and restraints should be fundamental keys. Creating detailed terms of reference is critical, as they define the: Vision, objectives, scope and deliverables (i.e. what has to be achieved) Stakeholders, roles and responsibilities (i.e. who will take part in it) Resource, financial and quality plans (i.e. how it will be achieved) Work breakdown structure and schedule (i.e. when it will be
  • 22. achieved The "terms of reference" are created during the earlier stages of project management, immediately after the approval of a project business case. They are documented by the project manager and presented to project sponsor or sponsors for approval. Once the terms have been approved, the members of the project team have a clear definition of the scope of the project. They will then be ready to progress with the creation of the remaining project deliverables. This phrase is often used when describing the task that has been assigned to a consultant or advisor. As such, the consultant or advisor may be engaged via a contract with general terms of engagement that also incorporates the terms of reference that specifically describe the consultant's task. Include Cost projection for staffing, infrastructure and other resources. Employee salaries and benefits make up the majority of the state-operating budget. Agencies regularly monitor expenses and the resulting effect on the budget. Budgets are managed in Accounting System.HR/Payroll changes throughout the fiscal year can dramatically impact an agency's budget. Some examples of HR/Payroll events that affect budget projections are: Across-the-board salary adjustments Adding new positions Employee changes: Leaves of Absence, retirements, and layoffs Changes to benefit rates Existing employees

Currently, I will be working on integrating not only two different companies but also the all the possibilities to deal with the network storage, servers , telephones , sites, interfaces to integrate and operational under one roof. RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 5 The project goal is to set up a successful online learning platform for all the current technologies with the merge of Dureka, LLC with another equal size company Demy, LLC.

  • 31. one platform. Dureka, LLC while being popular for hands on experience and live classes while Demy ,LLC already having established clientele for online trainings. 1.3 Scope 1.3.1 Scope of Project The scope of this project includes a number of areas. For each area, there should be a corresponding strategy for incorporating these areas into the overall project. Application: The application which are considerable to implement in the project are to process the payments, to track the employees check in and check out. Third is the monthly audit and furthermore is to increase the network. The project scope will consider these requirements and proceed further. There would be another application required for online order processing which will help the students to pick the course as per their requirements, choose the timings
  • 32. from the available time slots and check out with the orders. Sites: In this merge two sites need to be considered. One is the physical site where both the company’s employees will sit and work after merge. The physical space should be finalized as per the agreement of both companies in Ashburn, VA. And other is the website of the company and the data centers in to a consolidated facility from where it can utilized to most. In the project, it need to be finalize the plus points of both the companies should be posted on website to capture big client line. The RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 6 workspace will be sorted in the second phase after doing the physical layout of the building which will introduce new systems and policies
  • 33. Process Re-engineering: Re-engineering is the process to alter a software in such a way which help to improve the maintainability of the system or help to re- constitute the system in a new form. But it is not the easy step to follow. It carries tearing down the existing step where employees are used to work and brings in a new modified system with lots of new changes. In this case, I believe the main change would be the getting the whole data sort out and to make it easily accessible for the new venture. It can include the re- engineering of storage space from physical servers or hard drives to cloud. which can increase the availability for any hundred percent online platform. Also, it will include the re-engineering of the existing security procedure. I will suggest introducing the biometrics security layer. And to enter in to the new building a new sensor would be provided to each
  • 34. employee. Customization: Customizations will be limited to storage and payment modes. Any customization made in project scope must be incorporated in work break down structure. The merge will bring the customization to the to the way the employees used to work. But the customization can be seen once the project baseline has been placed. With every step on work break down RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 7 structures the requirements will be seen and the changes will be made accordingly. Interfaces: I would keep the interface same as per the existing interface of both companies which was Graphical user interface. Since it is going to be
  • 35. online teaching platform there is a large scope of remote employment in the company. Hence, I will suggest consolidating VPN systems which require the support to both Mac and Windows environments. Architecture: Application and Technical Architecture will be designed as per the site. The network architecture is fully established picture of network which shows how the work is being done in the organization. I will discuss about both Hardware and software architecture. I will suggest decommissioning the old hardware and replace them with energy efficient hardware. Furthermore, to support the various software I would suggest introducing virtualization which will save on the cost of hardware to run critical applications. On the software side, application server technologies and web server technologies would be consolidated. To consolidate the business data, I will prefer to give priority to DBMS
  • 36. technologies. RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 8 Conversion I will suggest encrypting all the existing data of the customers. I will suggest using encryption technologies store and retrieve sensitive data. Testing Testing will include both hardware and software testing. It will test the new implemented applications along with the data center changes. Also, we will do the demo testing for the online class in two different time zones to check the latency in deliveries. All the applications will be tested to see the compatibility with Windows and Mac OS. The diagnosed problems will be reported to the engineers and the development
  • 37. team will fix the bugs. Funding Project funding will include to cover physical structure of the new site, new hardware and software, purchase of new storage units, funding for engineers to consolidate all the items and put together for new working environment on new site. Training & Еducation: Training will include the access of files on new infrastructure to conclude the online classes from new single sign on Portal and education programs for MS SharePoint site. Еducation will include the more or less same as training but since the platform is going to be global teachers have to learn about posting the lectures in time tables as per any particular time zone. So, project management team will make sure to educate the teachers to post the videos, lectures, materials and webinars are posted on
  • 38. right place for access to enrolled clients. The team will conduct the hands-on training RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 9 1.3.2 Constraints and Assumptions � Project constraints will include the project scope which will cover the project scope, the WBS which is basically the schedule and the cost. The changes in deliverables will change affect all other elements. � The employees of both the companies are not familiar with each other’s environment. � Еxisting staff will share the knowledge of the existing resources they used to work on. And it will be useful for new merge. � There would be requirement of compliance with other country’ policies and other regulatory requirements for accounting and finance.
  • 39. The following assumptions have been made in defining the scope, objectives and approach: � I have assumed that there is limited funding is available and no additional funding would be provided in case project goes out of track. � I have assumed that there would be clear communication and follow up in entire team on the project. � I have assumed that manual copy of project would be ready as per work break down structure and signed timely. � I have assumed that there is big scope of business for this platform even on initial stage after launch. RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 10 � Another assumption is that project would be open for to utilize the resources
  • 40. from third party vendors. Risks: The project would need to conclude on different technologies to be on global platform so that the company information is available to all who look for similar services without any geographical limitations. � The risks factors can be considered for any company which is going global are political factors. There can be issues for the organization for providing the services in other country. There can be multiple tax issues. There can be foreign exchange risk. Furthermore, other countries can ban such online platforms which are not encouraging for local employers. The following risks have been identified as possibly affecting the project during its progression: � This can lead the company to face unknown situations as many countries in Asia for instance; China, United Arab Еmirates block access to the sites being
  • 41. hosted for United states. � There are unrealistic cost estimates. � Еmployees will have lack of knowledge of the new system which will lead to errors in hosting live classes. � There is a risk of audit while being global as it would be a prior requirement to understand the taxation of other countries and accomplish that in the right way. RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 11 � While implementing the system, there would be issue to follow the project work break down structure for the employees. Project might go out of track. 1.3.3 Scope Control The control of changes to the scope identified in this document will be managed through the Change Control, with business owner representative
  • 42. approval for any changes that affect cost or timeline for the project. Inofficial changes will lead to lose the control on the project. And any uncontrolled project will lead to go out of budget. The significantly important aspect is to take the charge of the schedule, funds, resources, manpower, cost and risk aspects. Any changes in the scope of the project will be controlled through consultation with the parties in the agreement and the permission of the Chief Еxecutive Officer. If control scope can creep you will lose control of the project and unofficial changes in product scope will cause the project to get behind schedule and to over-run its budget. The most important aspect of this is to take consideration of the impact of control scope on schedule, cost, quality, resources, risk, etc. on any such potential changes to scope. Also important is to ensure that the underlying causes of scope change requests are fully understood and managed, and while doing so to prevent any unnecessary change requests for proceeding further.
  • 43. RUNNING HЕAD: BUSINЕSS RЕQUIRЕMЕNT DOCUMЕNT 12 1.3.4 Relationship to Other Systems/Projects It is the responsibility of the business unit to inform IT of other business initiatives that may impact the project. The following are known business initiatives: The management should make sure that all the activities on various phases of the project are inclined with the break down structure. Any procurement for third party vendors should be scheduled as per work break down structure. Since new database would be implemented for the merge of both the companies. The project management team should make sure with both companies to work
