Due: 12/01/2022

Chapter: 1-12

Worth: 15 points

Assignment: Complete both a set of business management plans and a Microsoft Project for a  project

Scenario:

  • Base the assignment on a fictional business that has its own in-house development staff
  • The project should be sufficiently large/complex so that it will take between 9-12 months to complete
  • Your choice on the numbers/types of employees… but I’m expecting around a dozen or so
  • Use the traditional SDLC model for development… so most likely 6 top-level summary tasks
  • The vast majority of the costs should be labor, but should contain some non-labor costs

Requirements: There are two parts:

Part 1 – Create a single Word document to cover the following:

  • Do NOT use the same scenario as Assignment 6 (This would confuse the plagiarism checker)
  • The Project Charter
  • A Cost Management Plan
  • A Quality Management Plan
  • A Human Resources Management Plan
  • A Communications Management Plan
  • A Risk Management Plan
  • Paraphrase, do not copy! No more than 35% of the content can be copied

Note: I’m expecting this part of the assignment to be about 10-15 single-spaced pages total

Part 2 – The Microsoft Project document

  • Multiple levels of Work Breakdown Structures
  • Resource table by employee name and some material
  • Full cost per WBS
  • Full work schedule per WBS (without over-allocating employees)
  • Create a Tracking Gantt with some schedule slippage and task completion
  • Create a Earned Value Management report with a report date about 1/2 way through the project

Expectations: A two files that contains the two parts (a DOCX file and a MPP file) Yes, I want you to submit 2 files for this assignment

Instructions: Submit your files using the naming convention in the syllabus, for example:

Your submission must include the following information in the following format: 

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term – (the definition should come from the article) 

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-words range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials, and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term. 

DISCUSSION: Using 300-words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected key term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts, and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment. 

REFERENCE: The source for the analysis must be listed at the bottom of the submission – APA format required. Use only peer-reviewed journal articles for these assignments. Refrain from using blogs, .com’s, or other unreliable internet sources

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux

 

Attached will be a template of the assignment is wanted done. I will do the audio recording narration of each slide.

Instructions

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux.

The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:

(10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.)

  • Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing’s business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
  • The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

  • What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
  • Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.)

  • What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).

(1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.)

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation.

  • An introductory slide
  • A summary slide
  • Voice narration on every slide

For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; the inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required.

(1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.)

You must cite at least two quality sources.

You used at least 2 references and your references were cited properly following an accepted style. Ask your instructor for clarification.

Use the Migration Proposal Presentation template to get started.

(2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.)

You should present your proposal as if you are selling to the company. Revisit all of these important reasons in the summary slide.

Web server auditing can go a long way in enforcing tighter security and ensuring business continuity. The power of log data is tremendous. Web server logs record valuable information pertaining to usage, errors, and other important security events. Using a specialized auditing tool can be extremely helpful during the audit of web servers. In your discussion this week, please discuss the methods of identifying weak web server configurations and how to mitigate them for a secure web server. Possible concepts to include are SSL certificates, HTTPS usage, attack surface, SQL injection, vulnerability migration, and least privilege. In at least one of your peer responses, provide an overview of how to audit the web server’s security and implement best practices.

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:

  • Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
  • Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
  • Provide extensive additional information on the topic
  • Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
  • Share an applicable personal experience
  • Provide an outside source that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA 7)
  • Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least two scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Use proper citations and references in your post.
