Project Timeline
So now we know what Floor plan, hardware and software we plan to use in the project, I can now begin to plan out the project timeline. In the planning stage I will include the implementation dates, software installation dates, configuration dates and testing phase.
5.01.18 - Implementation planning discussion with Mrs. Carter. Now as you can see from today's date, my discussion with Mrs. Carter has already taken place. We went over again my plan and the duration it would take to complete, I draw up a time line and she picked a date when she was away so the company will be at it's quietest time. We dotted that up as the 10th March 2018, by this time I would have had needed to purchase the software, purchase the hardware and come up with my own game plan of how I was going to achieve building this network. We then decided the time frame of the implementation, between March 10th and the 13th I plan to have all systems up and running and a live network in place and then finish the final day on the 18th with an overall system check, any problems to be resolved and final review from Mrs. Carter.
10.3.18 - Installation of hardware. My plan for the installation of hardware will be to first take a look at the floor plan so I can go over what will be installed where, I'll begin with the setting up of the PC's, monitors, keyboards and mice etc... Then the printer. As this will be new equipment, this first day will be set for un-boxing and making sure all the hardware is working\tested so in case anything needs to be returned to the supplier.
11.3.18 - Installation of software. Day 2 will be installing the Operating system (Windows 10), Windows updates, Office applications, Printer drivers, and any other additional software.
12.3.18 - Configuration of software and system applications. This day will be spend configuring the email groups, security settings, making sure the printer is set up and working to all PC's, and anything additional that needs considering.
13.3.18 - Testing the system applications. The final day of the week will be used testing all the applications, making sure any errors, not working applications, security settings are all put into place and I am overall happy with the implementation of the network.
18.3.18 - Bug fixes and final review. I will be returning a few days later to answer any questions the team has, fix any problems or errors and to receive a final overview of my work from Mrs. Carter and to make sure she is 100% satisfied with my work.
The project timeline for the implementation of the network is now complete, next week I will be creating my own timeline for the purchasing of equipment and software for the project.
