Project
In this assessment task, you are required to read the scenario and perform the
following activities to prepare a business requirements document.
● work with clients and staff to gather, analyse and confirm information
contributions
Scenario:
They currently promote their services via their website and social media channels
included Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They also advertise in selected design
magazines and on selected radio stations.
Design Excellence works with a large number of other businesses and trade
subcontractors when undertaking installation work. This includes ordering bathroom
and kitchen products, as well as installation and fitting of kitchens and bathrooms.
Recently Design Excellence work premises were extensively damaged in a large fire
that started in a neighbouring business. As a result of this, the entire contents of the
building including its entire network was destroyed, and insurance costs are currently
being assessed. While some business data was lost, most of it can be recovered as
the business houses backup facilities offsite.
Because of the recent disaster, and the delays in rebuilding the old premises, Design
Excellence has found a newly refurbished premise in the surrounding area and will be
moving to these premises in the near future. The premises have already been pre-
cabled with Category 6 Ethernet cable. As this is the case, the hardware components
just need to be determined and purchased, along with any software requirements to
configure and manage the network, and to allow employees to complete their normal
work tasks.

You work as the IT Manager for Design Excellence and have been tasked by Terry
Jackson who is the Managing Director, to implement a network in the new premises,
so that the business can become operational as soon as possible. Your role requires
you to do business analysis for the organisation.
You have pulled some of the organisations data out of the backed-up business files.
This includes the following list of the old network components that were used prior to
the fire:
The employees previously used the following software applications on the network:
● Adobe Reader
While the website, the social media accounts, Intranet files, and most of the business
internal work files were backed up and can be restored, most of the applications used
by the employees and their associated files have been lost. As such, identification of
whether this software is still appropriate or whether it can be changed should be an
important priority for the project.

● Purchasing supplies which are used in the kitchen and bathroom designs
Mission: to provide design and installation of quality kitchens and bathrooms that
exceed customer expectations.
● To be a sustainable business
Your task for this assessment is to prepare a business requirements document to:
● work with clients and staff to gather, analyse and confirm information
contributions
Design Excellence has project management policies and procedures that outline the
organisational standards expected for gathering requirements, planning the project
through to implementation and to completion. A portion of the project management
work procedure for gathering and analysing requirements is provided below:
During the interview, the facilitator should take notes of the responses and then
analysis these using the Interview Question Analysis Document organisational
template.
When developing a survey, the facilitator should develop it using the Requirements
Survey organisational template and then distribute the survey to these stakeholders

who will be completing it. Once the survey takers have completed the survey, they
are to return it to the facilitator who should use the Survey Analysis Document to
analyse the survey responses.
In this activity you need to review the scenario and also interview clients and staff,
and then provide answers to the following in a word processor:
Answer: Basically, after looking at the scenario I was assign as the IT manager for
designing excellence and my task was to implement a network in the new premises
where the business can become operational as soon as possible. My role in the
organizations was to analyze the business to pull the data out of the backed-up
business files. There were many network components that were used prior like using
domain server using windows 7 professional and router and switches and printer
were connected. Employees were using software applications software application
like Microsoft office 2013 and adobe reader. Same way, for designing auto-cad and
sa-manage to manage IT asset management and IT helpdesk support. While due to
heavy loss the accounts and intranet files and most of the business can be restored
or backed up or not and to identify this application are still appropriate or not for the
upcoming project.
2. Provide a summary of the old network including the hardware and software used.
(100 – 200 words expected)
Answer: In this section, I will discuss about the network including the hardware and
software used in the organizations data out of the backed-up business files. In
network there were domain server running windows server 2012 R2 standard and
also a client desktop computer running windows 7 professional and a router which
work as a gateway or firewall for the network and 24 switches port to direct network
communications using NAS and printers and UPS which helps to make us easier to
protect data with access controls which enforced by security policies. Software
components like they used in organization was all office applications like office 2013
suite Microsoft project 2013, Reckon on for payroll and salesforce CRM software for
managing client and adobe reader and adobe suite graphic designer NetBeans IDE
for developing web apps Autodesk AutoCAD for designing and Sa manage for
managing IT asset and support these tools were used for designing and managing
client and meeting the financial requirements.

Activity 2: (Conduct Interview)
In this activity you need to review the scenario, and then develop an interview agenda
to determine possible requirements for the project and work with clients and staff to
gather, analyse and confirm information contributions. You need to select two
stakeholders that you have identified in the previous activity for the purpose of the
interview.
As per the scenario the purpose of the interview to try and identify the network for the
new premises, so that the business can become operational as soon as possible.
This can include any requirements for what hardware and software is needed, the
budget, and the time scale for the implementation. Based on the two stakeholders
identified you will need to identify 6 questions to ask them. For example, if you have
identified Terry Jackson is one of the stakeholders you might ask him questions
relating to the budget for the project, what human resources you can utilise for the
project, and when he would want it implemented by? Or if you identify one of the
managers you might ask them questions related to their software needs for their
department or individual employees, their backup requirements, or their security
requirements for files that need to be protected.
Once the interview agenda has been created you need to present the interview orally
and undertake analysis of the stakeholder responses.
For the purpose of this activity the assessor and fellow student will play the role of the
stakeholders.

initiating this project. Why is it being done? Some common answers are:
Subheadings may be created to expand further on this. It’s a good idea to include
numbers and targets in these subheadings, such as “aim to reduce cost of manual
effort by $500k per year” with breakdown of how this is achieved.
The major inputs and actions that drive a company's operational and financial
success are known as business drivers. Business drivers are critical variables that
influence the value of a company.
They can assist ambitious enterprises in thinking differently about their businesses and successfully

Beware of overloading this document with information. Preferably, any extra
documents should be created separately and linked to, rather than embedding, as it
is better for file sizes and version control.

hardware and software components which must be improved and upgraded. After
looking at the business drivers’ section that they can assist ambitious enterprises in
thinking differently about their businesses and successfully executing long-term
growth strategies. Other information that might be improved by upgrading the network
systems.
