IT645 Week 5 Individual Work

Unit 5 - Individual Project (250 points)

Description

Key Assignment Final Draft

The final step in developing the Virtual Technology Implementation Plan is to define how the plan that you have developed will be implemented within the organization. Technology implementation can be a complex process because it affects so many areas of an organization. Technology implementation also carries a high level of risk, so to protect the organization, a good implementation plan should be paired with good risk management and risk mitigation strategies.

For this assignment, you will add a detailed implementation plan of 3–5 pages that describes your proposed solution. It should include risk management plans and risk mitigation recommendations for the implementation of the virtual system within the organization. Finally, you will further refine the Virtual Technology Implementation Plan to produce the Final Draft version. Updates may be based on peer and instructor feedback.

The project deliverables are as follows:

· Update the Virtual Technology Implementation Plan document title page with a new date and project name.

· Update the previously completed sections based on instructor feedback.

· Develop a detailed Implementation and Risk Management Plan that addresses the following:

· Implementation

· Research and identify the important considerations of the design of virtual systems, and identify and defend the design practices that you have included in your implementation plan.

· Develop plans and strategies for the deployment of the virtual information technology architecture within the enterprise.

· Risk management

· Prepare a plan to mitigate or reduce the risks associated with the cloud computing, virtual servers, or virtual data storage technologies that you have identified for implementation in your plan.

· Provide a risk analysis to show the potential cost of the risks in your risk mitigation plan. This analysis should take risk probability into account.

· Provide a table that describes the previous configuration and the new configuration using virtualization.

Refine your Virtual Technology Implementation Plan. Complete the following:

· Review the entire document for any changes and improvements that you would like to make.

· Ensure that this final version of the plan is sufficiently detailed to allow the organization to confidently move forward with the implementation of the virtual technology based on your recommendations.

· Any previous instructor feedback should be addressed with appropriate changes.

· Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.

· Name the document "yourname_IT645_IP5.doc."

· Submit the document for grading.

Part 2: Argumentation

Now that you have the complete solution to TSG's issues, it is time to present your upgraded design to the TSG executive team and the board of directors. The intent is to document the issues identified in Phase 1, present the proposed solution, and document the return on investment (ROI). You should also be prepared to answer their questions. Your presentation should be about 8–10 slides (excluding the title and reference slides) consisting of the following:

· A title page with a title, date, company name, and your name

· An agenda or topics slide

· Slide numbers on each page

· 1–3 slides documenting the previous environment

· 1–3 slides documenting your proposed solution

· 1–2 slides providing your ROI calculations

· 1–2 slides discussing the advantages of your solution

· Notes for each page based on the information content on the slide, providing a narrative of 3–4 paragraphs of your rationale for the data center and infrastructure implementation and the improvements you are recommending

Each slide should support your argument and solution, and should include citations in-text on the slide, and in the references section of the presentation.

Citations and references must be in APA format.

Please submit your assignment.
