2. Project Scope Statement
Project Justification
Kevin Floyd, CIO of FreeMax, requested this project to develop, and assist a company in meeting its networking
goals. This will increase visibility of the company’s expertise to potential customers providing them a service, and
improve profitability by providing standard tools, techniques, and project management knowledge to internal
employees. It is very important to focus on the network to pay for itself within a year of completion.
Project Product
1. Tools: The website will allow visitors to view listings, contact company, search listings, find an office location, and
download files. These files will be in a PDF format.
2. Visitors: Visitors will be encouraged to e-mail questions, comments, etc. to the company. The company will then
forward the input to the correct personnel, and will then give a response.
3. Listings: Listings on the website will have the correct and updated information with permissions from sellers.
These files will be in a PDF format if downloaded or easily viewed within the web browser.
4. Requests: There will be a function within the website for visitors to request more information, in which a sales
agent will contact them.
5. Links: All links on the website will be tested weekly, and all broken links will be fixed or removed.
6. Security: The intranet site must provide several levels of security. All internal employees will have access to the
entire intranet site when they enter their security information to access the intranet. Portions of the intranet will be
available to current employees, and portions available to independent agents. The website will be secure from
any attacks.
7. Search feature: The intranet and website will have features to do searches through the databases that are
appropriate to their needs.
8. The intranet and website must be accessible using a standard Internet browser. Users must have appropriate
application software to open tools.
9. The intranet and website must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with one hour per week for system
maintenance and other periodic maintenance, and must be updated daily with new listings.
Project Deliverables
Project management-related deliverables: Business case, project charter, team contract, scope statement, work
breakdown structure, budget, progress reports, Gantt chart, network system overview, ISP/hardware overview,

Product-related deliverables:
1. Website: A website will be put together for the company, such information it will have includes: listings, office
locations, about the company, search, and a contact page for any questions or comments.

will remove unavailable houses from inventory.
3. Software: Software will include spreadsheets, word documents, graphics, project management tools, and any
other software needed for any work related tasks.
4. Intranet: The intranet will allow employees to view all listings, what listings are associated with an agent, what
agents are employed, payments, technical support requests, security, and software.

independent agents who stop by the office for any form of work.

7. Phone: The Company will be using a VOIP telephone system by Cisco.
Project Objective
Define the network topology for each LAN that makes up the network, and define and describe the structure of the
WAN to interconnect the various remote components of the network. Describe the types of equipment needed, and
explain how to meet the performance reliability requirements. Discuss the relevant protocol choices for both the LANs
and the WAN. Throughout each step of the project, address the three key areas in Networking: Confidentiality,
Availability, and Integrity.
