Description

Key Assignment Structure

The overall Network Enterprise Architecture Plan will consist of the following deliverables:

• Week 1: Project Outline
• Week 1: Network Enterprise Architecture Review
• Week 2: Network Enterprise Architecture Layers
• Week 3: Network Enterprise Architecture Analysis
• Week 4: Network Enterprise Architecture Design
• Week 5: Network Enterprise Architecture Plan

The following is the project outline for the complete deliverable:

• Network Enterprise Architecture Plan shell
  • Use Word
  • Title page
    • Course number and name
    • Project name
    • Your name
    • Date
  • Table of contents (TOC)
    • Use an autogenerated TOC.
    • This should be on a separate page.
    • This should be a maximum of 3 levels deep.
    • Be sure to update the fields of the TOC so that it is up-to-date before submitting your project.
  • Section headings
    • Project Outline
    • Network Enterprise Architecture Review
    • Network Enterprise Architecture Layers
    • Network Enterprise Architecture Analysis
    • Network Enterprise Architecture Design
    • Network Enterprise Architecture Plan

Case Study: Problem 5

TheSolarGroup (TSG) wants to employ an enterprise architecture planning (EAP) strategy. This strategy defines a blueprint for subsequent design and implementation by placing planning and defining stages into the framework of the enterprise architecture (EA) approach. The planning stages include the following:

• Layer 1: Getting started
• Layer 2: Where TSG is today
• Layer 3: Vision of where it wants to be
• Layer 4: How it plans to get there

Can this strategy be used for re-engineering roles as well as technology?

Part 1: Final Deliverable for Key Assignment

Week 5: Network Enterprise Architecture Plan

In the last few weeks, you have prepared the foundation for the Network Enterprise Architecture Plan document. The final step is to include the implementation plan for the new network enterprise architecture.

The project deliverables are as follows:

• Update the Network Enterprise Architecture Plan document title page with the new date.
• Update the previously completed sections based on the instructor’s feedback.
• Include the following in your implementation plan:
  • Summarize network changes to network architecture.
  • Create a schedule of change milestones.
  • Include an EAP plan in your Network Enterprise Architecture Plan document.
• Complete the Enterprise Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Implementation Manual final version by doing the following:
  • Review the entire document for any changes and improvements that you would like to make.
  • Ensure that this final version of the document is sufficiently detailed to meet the requirements of the assignment.
• Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.
• Name the document “yourname_IT643_IP5.doc.”

Please refer to the worked example that follows for an example of this assignment based on the problem-based learning scenario. The worked example is not intended to be a complete example of the assignment, but it will illustrate the basic concepts that are required for completion of the assignment, and it can be used as a general guideline for your own project. Your assignment submission should be more detailed and specific, and it should reflect your own approach to the assignment rather than just following the same outline provided in the worked example.

Note that the worked example includes material from previous worked examples. The new material will be found under the Week 5 sections of the table of contents.

Review this worked example to help you with the assignment.

Part 2: Argumentation

IT is responsible for end-to-end network integrity. An EAP document provides the plan for integrating network EA changes. Consider the following EA approach for creating a plan, and relate the steps to activities for your project EA plan:

• Getting started
• Where you are today
• Vision of where you want to be
• How you plan to get there
• Observations for deployment benefits

All sources that are used to support your argument and solution should be cited both in-text (on the slide or in the notes section) and on a References slide in APA format.

Name the document “yourname_IT643_IP5.doc.”

Please submit your assignment.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your textbook, all course resources, and any external research and resources you have gathered.
