4. Executive Summary
Network under a set of confined region is known as Intranet. It
uses an IP protocol and IP-based tools like the file transfer
application and web browsers that is provided by the server to
only assigned IP address. Computer network communication is
an important installation in a contemporary organization
organisation. As the organization's service provision is
improved through the reliable communication, its competition
with related firms is enhanced and, therefore, valued
competence. Ultimate network design as a mode of flow of
information among employees and stakeholders in promotes
coordination in the management, team work and services the
business offer. This automatically improves the performance of
the organisation at the good will of all workers.
It should be noted that an organisation's communication systems
alone holds a large percentage in its performance that it should
not be compromised, even on the slightest default. This would
mean that the organisation would require an Information System
that when a default occurs at any single point in the connection
system, it would be easier to detect and reach that point as soon
as possible. The design should be design with backbone network
so temporally technical problem with not upset the performance
of network communication. This is more appropriate in big
organisations to maintain their data and communication
confidentiality, integrity and accessibility. In networking design
approach, the choice of device should be intelligently selected
for the desired function, this will enhance performance in terms
of managing security, traffic, errors in storage and transmitting
information.
Documents and programs that are sensitive are run through LAN
security domain system to create passwords for their protection
against cybercrimes. The protected file would then be accessed
5. by authorised personnel only. This would be an important idea
where security of flowing information is paramount. Each set of
the employee has got a privilege to prevent the access of any
restricted file in the company.

Mission/ Purpose
Based on customer’s statistical report, we are designing network
that will provide faster, with increased security assurance and
24/7 direct online support platform.
6. Project
Description and Project Product
It is assured to increase online communication and coordination
between sales services and customers.
Optimize the customer choice to online shopping.
Additional capacity with be added to the design to align the
company’s current market demand.
Rejuvenating company network infrastructure, plan and trend
through the network design. Incorporating additional features
and the new branches that are currently established.

Increase sales through the utilizing the speed of the network.
use
Business NeedSince customers are the main financial sponsors
of the company, and by popular request, we intend to recreate
the website to meet the following criteria:· Mobile friendly·
Enhance information security
· Add new functionality
· Improve usability
· Keep up to date and shake things
Milestones
Network is expected to be mobile friendly i.e. with Wi-Fi
capabilities
By 11/30/15 midway of the project is evaluated according to
standard.

User Acceptance Criteria
User friendly and security assurance network structure is the
minimum success criteria as defined by the key stakeholders.
Contractors and customers will be in charge of testing and
evaluating the quality network and feedback will be collected
through employees and document report from contractors.
High-Level Project Assumptions
It is anticipated that similar project will be taken in about eight
years’ time, since vulnerability of network increase with time,
and technology will keep changing, preference will keep
changing based on factors like the economy, climate or
influence from our competitors market strategy. The network
design will create feasible working environment.
High-Level Project ConstraintsCreating perfect network
communication structure to suit both customer and business
needs.Providing fraud free network, customers are expect to
create online account with sensitive information such as social
security number, credit card and address. Project must be
8. completed on time to avoid exceeding budget.
Exclusions and Boundaries
Creating perfect network environment to suit both customer and
business needs.
Software interface is limited to be compatible to existing
hardware.
Project must be completed at most not more than a week after
stipulated deadline.
Budget must not increase more than 5% of the stipulated
budget.
Network technical support unit will be decentralized to
accommodate influx calls that will expected from employees
who may encounter technical problem. Feedback from users
should use during in the designing process.
Major Risks
Provide a written description of software process and hard
process.
Regular technical review to ensure that design meets standards.
Budget is expected to rise if design do not meet specification
and thee the need to fix flaws.
Experts are required to answer question about the tools used in
design.
Establishing a procedure for tracking and reviewing contractors
Documentation is required for all formal, informal procedure
and deliverables. Availability of testing tool.

10. Earn Value Statement
Statement of Work—Project Description and
Project Product
The project intends to design easy to use network design that
will accommodate shareholder demand and leverage the
company on competitive edge against its rival.
Specification of the network is based on collective inquiry,
user’s feedback and sponsors request, and the priority is meet
the national regulation standard.
Scrum agile method approach will be employ in this design
development project, this will allow the product use by the
development team, while in design is in process, so that
feedback will be used to make correction on inherent and
apparent weakness that will be detected at the early stage..
The project team will be group in three, the developers, the
testers and the users. The user group will consist of
shareholders and designated team professional. Strong chain of
feedback mechanism will be establish between users and the
developers to report any fault at the early development stage.
However early glitch may also be detected at the testing level
and reported to the developers.
11. Project DeliverablesNetwork design will be will have about
500sqft Wi-Fi capability, encryption tool for the protection of
sensitive’s information of inputs made by client when hosting
on the network. Users will be authenticated. .
Project Objectives
The Objectives is to design company’s network to incorporate
additional features and also correct inherent apparent weakness
that have been reported on major cases by shareholders. It is
also intended to give competitive advantage over business
rivals. Project is schedule to complete in three commencing
from 09/09/15 to 12/15/15.
50% of the total budget will be disbursed for the comment of
the project and the remaining 50% will be disbursed at the
midway of the project. Provision of 5% increase of the original
budget is made available in the budget coffers to accommodate
anticipated increase project cost.
However, with the introduction of improved working tools,
project is expected to compete within budget.
Project Assumptions
Work space will be required to accommodate all working station
(i.e. developers, testers and users team station) and team
members.
Project is likely to take longer than will be expected since the
sponsors are part of the design process with direct influence on
the project, sponsors preference might keep changing.
In addition to the testers and the users who may report design
flaws ,experts or outsourced team may be required to
independently assess performance, evaluate and test network,
feedback may be employ to make to make required changes
when the need arise to extend service or employ feedback from
auditors to make any changes.
Other opportunities may be consider to affect design during
12. process if it will give competitive advantage over business
rivals.
Project ConstraintsOver security is concern like authentication
process may discourage and prolong access to network facility
.Project cascaded team and process may slow work. Project
design needs dedicated and reliable server, free from threat and
can host all team members time. Daily project routine needs to
be documented and review by head of project before going to
the next step, the procedure sometimes slow down development
process. Team are expected to have long meeting with legal
advisor before of the work begins.
Exclusions
Based on available spaces and tools, only 8 members are
required to the task.
Acceptance Criteria The network must operational or
compatible to the major internet devices protocols.
