Project Part 1: Active Directory Recommendations

 

Scenario

Assume you are an entry-level security administrator working for Always Fresh. You have been asked to evaluate the option of adding Active Directory to the company’s network.

 

Tasks

Create a summary report to management that answers the following questions to satisfy the key points of interest regarding the addition of Active Directory to the network:

1. System administrators currently create users on each computer where users need access. In Active Directory, where will system administrators create users?

2. How will the procedures for making changes to the user accounts, such as password changes, be different in Active Directory?

3. What action should administrators take for the existing workgroup user accounts after converting to Active Directory?

4. How will the administrators resolve differences between user accounts defined on different computers? In other words, if user accounts have different settings on different computers, how will Active Directory address that issue? (Hint: Consider security identifiers [SIDs].)

 Week 10 Assignment – Comprehensive Project Plan and Executive Presentation

Overview

This is the fifth and final course project deliverable in the series of five sequential assignments in this course. You are continuing on in your role as the CTO of a hypothetical e-commerce start-up company of your design.

Throughout the course, you have been working on delivering an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility.

  • In the first course project deliverable, you created a project plan inception document and supporting Gantt chart.
  • In the second course project deliverable, you developed the business requirements to be incorporated into the information systems design you are creating. You also updated your original supporting Gantt chart based on major and minor tasks identified in the business requirements document.
  • In the third course project deliverable, you created an infrastructure design that considered the key elements of software, hardware, security, and business process flow for your e-commerce startup company. Once again you updated the supporting Gantt chart based on the major and minor tasks identified in the infrastructure design document.
  • In the fourth course project deliverable you developed the system implementation document. This document spelled out the EFI technical aspects of your e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure. Again you updated the supporting Gantt chart to reflect the major and minor tasks identified in the system implementation document.

You are now in the final stage of the project plan development. You will leverage all previous deliverables and integrate them into one document that will serve as the project’s statement of work.

Your goal is for the start-up company’s executive team and the venture capital group to approve and fund your project. The detailed project plan is necessary to accomplish the monumental implementation task. The executive team and investors, however, are only interested in an executive summary in the form of a 10–15-slide PowerPoint presentation. As a result, you are required to create a compelling PowerPoint presentation, supported by the detail in your project plan, which convinces the executive group that your solution is optimal.

This assignment consists of three parts:

Part 1: Comprehensive Project Plan

You will create an 8–10-page final comprehensive project plan. This document will distill down the most salient points from each of the four previous course deliverables into one integrated, cohesive comprehensive project plan that persuades investors of the recommended approach.

Critical Note: Do NOT simply combine the previous four assignments into one 30–50-page document. Instead, your task is to:

  • Review each of the four previous assignments.
  • Select the most critical information from each that investors need to know to make an informed investment decision.
  • Summarize the information you selected.
  • Ensure that the selected information flows from one section to the next in a cohesive and compelling fashion.
Part 2: Executive Presentation

You will create a 10–15-slide compelling executive presentation that convinces the start-up company’s executive team and potential investors to invest in the company. Your recommended solution is the one that can grow this $5 million dollar e-commerce start-up company into a $30 million dollar company within the next two years.

Part 3: Updated Final Gantt Chart

You will use Microsoft Project to update the supporting project Gantt chart begun in your first course project deliverable.

  • You are not creating a new Gantt chart, only updating the one you created in the previous assignment to produce the final project Gantt chart to include all major and minor tasks necessary to execute the project.

Note:

  • You are to create or assume all necessary assumptions to successfully complete this assignment.
  • You must submit all three parts as separate files to the assignment area. Label each file name according to the appropriate part.

Instructions 

Part 1: Comprehensive Project Plan

You are to write a comprehensive 8–10-page comprehensive, final project plan in which you:

  1. Describe the project’s goals, objectives, scope, and control measures.
  2. Relate the value of the proposed solution to the competitive advantage that information technology will afford the e-commerce company.
  3. Provide a rough estimate of the entire project’s cost, including hardware, software, and labor.
    • The work you did to create the bill of materials in the fourth course project deliverable will help you with this.
  4. Use three sources to support your writing.
    • Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate.
    • Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
    • Access the library or review library guides for help with research, writing, and citation.
Part 2: Executive Presentation

You are to create a 10–15-slide executive PowerPoint presentation to persuade potential investors to invest in your e-commerce start-up company. In your presentation you are to:

  1. Illustrate the concepts from your 8–10-page comprehensive project plan in an executive presentation.
  2. Create bulleted speaking notes to the executive board in the Notes section of your PowerPoint presentation.

Note:

  • Create or assume any fictitious names, data, or scenarios that have not been established in this assignment for a realistic flow of communication.
  • Consider including images, graphics, charts, tables, etc. in your presentation to increase audience engagement.
Part 3: Updated Gantt Chart

Use Microsoft Project to update the previous Gantt chart to produce the final project Gantt chart to include all major and minor tasks necessary to execute the project.

NY TimesU.S. Economy Stays Stuck in Low GearThe economic recovery may be durable, but it is anything

/in /by

NY TimesU.S. Economy Stays Stuck in Low GearThe economic recovery may be durable, but it is anything but dynamic.Weighed down by anemic business spending, overstocked factories and warehouses, and a surprisingly weak housing sector, the American economy barely improved this spring after its usual winter doldrums.Consumer spending advanced at a robust pace, helping to sustain a modest growth rate of 1.2 percent, but the gain was overshadowed by the poor showing in other sectors of the economy. The April-June quarter was the third consecutive period in which the economy advanced at less than a 2 percent annual rate, the weakest stretch in four years.The new economic data underscores the continuing frustration about the current growth cycle, which has now gone on for seven years — longer than most economic upswings — but which has repeatedly failed to break out into a higher orbit.And with the political conventions now over, and the brawl between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump for the White House in full swing, Friday’s data at least partly undercuts the Democrats’ argument that the nation’s economic health is improving….Wall Street JournalU.S. GDP Grew a Disappointing 1.2% in Second QuarterEconomic growth was well below expectations; cautious business investment offset robust consumer spendingByEric Morath andJeffrey SparshottUpdated July 29, 2016 6:23 p.m. ETWASHINGTON—Declining business investment is hobbling an already sluggish U.S. expansion, raising concerns about the economy’s durability as the presidential campaign heads into its final stretch.Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the U.S.,grew (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. at a seasonally and inflation adjusted annual rate of just1.2% (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said Friday, well below the pace economists expected.Economic growth is now tracking at a 1% rate in 2016—the weakest start to a year since 2011—when combined with a downwardly revised reading for the first quarter. That makes for an annual average rate of 2.1% growth since the end of the recession,the weakest pace of any expansion (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. since at least 1949.The output figures are in some ways discordant with other gauges of the economy. The unemployment rate stands at 4.9% after a streak of strong job gains, wages have begun to pick up, and home sales hit a post-recession high last month.Consumer spending also remains strong. Personal consumption, which accounts for more than two-thirds of economic output, expanded at a 4.2% rate in the second quarter, the best gain since late 2014.On the downside, the third straight quarter of reduced business investment, a large paring back of inventories and declining government spending cut into those gains.“Consumer spending growth was the sole element of good news” in the latest GDP figures, said Gregory Daco, an economist at Oxford Economics. “Weakness in business investment is an important and lingering growth constraint.”Mr. Daco and other economists expect growth to accelerate in the third quarter, but the weak first half means 2016 is likely to come in below an already disappointing trend. In another worrisome sign, S&P 500 companies are expected to report what is likely to be the fourth straight quarter of declining profits, down 3.7% from second-quarter 2015, according to a Thomson Reuters survey of analysts’ forecasts. Revenues are expected to decline 1.2%.At the same time,JPMorgan Chase (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. lowered its projected risk of a recession over the next 12 months to 30% on Friday, from an expansion high of 37% in early July, shortly after the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union, pointing to upwardly revised corporate profit data included in the GDP report.Lackluster growth could spill into a presidential campaign that is revolving around starkly different portrayals of the U.S. economy and the well-being of average workers.Friday’s figures could also raise new concerns to Federal Reserve officials who said this week near-term risks haddiminished (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., signaling they might move to raise interest rates later this year, and possibly as early as September.Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Robert Kaplan said Friday that the Fed has to be cautious about raising rates at a time when growth is still sluggish.“We now need structural reforms and other fiscal policy,” Mr. Kaplan said. “Then we will have more operating room where we can normalize rates.”In contrast, San Francisco Fed President John Williams said Friday underlying figures in the GDP report were encouraging. “We’ll be raising rates, not lowering them, over the next several years,” he said. He didn’t offer specific timing.A paring of inventories was a major driver of weak output figures, subtracting 1.16 percentage points from overall growth. That could suggest businesses aren’t optimistic about future demand. But the category is volatile, and rebuilding of stockpiles could support future growth.High inventories and soft export demand are weighing onUnited Parcel Service (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Inc. ’s business-to-business shipments, the company told investors Friday. That stands in contrast to a healthy U.S. consumer market lifting its e-commerce business.“Inventories are lingering longer than we thought,” Chief Executive David Abney said Friday. “The strength of the U.S. dollar is not really helping us.”Companies also spent less on buildings and equipment this spring. Nonresidential fixed investment, a measure of business spending, declined at a 2.2% pace.That’s a concern because capital expenditures are an important ingredient in improving employee productivity, which has grown at an anemic pace in recent years, but is critical to workers’ wages and corporate profits.Manufacturers especially have been challenged by a strong dollar, which boosts the price of U.S.-made goods overseas. The energy industry has also been constrained, with relatively low oil and natural gas prices curtailing investments in mining and wells.In some cases businesses may be substituting labor for capital, given depressed wage growth around the globe.“Instead of buying an expensive piece of machinery, businesses are hiring really cheap workers they can fire whenever they want,” said Megan Greene, chief economist at Manulife Asset Management.She noted that companies are also increasing dividends and buying back stock rather than investing in capital.The presidential election is on the minds of some firms.Sales at Pennsylvania-based restaurant chain Saladworks are up almost 10% from a year earlier, but Chief Executive Patrick Sugrue said some of his best performing franchisees are reluctant to open new stores until after November.“The election cycle puts everyone on hold,” he said. “They’re excited to open new stores, but they want to get a better peek under the tent at what’s going on.”If the nine-month long slowdown in output growth extends further, the U.S. could join Europe and Japan as economies struggling to achieve anything more than the most modest growth. On an annualized basis, second-quarter growth in the eurozone was also 1.2%, a slowdown from 2.2% the prior period, Eurostat said Friday.The latest U.S. figures don’t capture much, if any, effect from theU.K.’s Brexit decision (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. because the vote took place during the final days of the quarter, which ended June 30. But uncertainty in Europe could add to caution among companies around the world.“Looking beyond 2016, we continue to see macroeconomic uncertainty and pressures,”United Technologies (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Corp. Chief Financial Officer Akhil Johri told investors this week. He noted Brexit and a strong U.S. dollar as concerns for the Connecticut-based conglomerate.—Laura Stevens in Atlanta contributed to this article.Briefly comment if you wish.
