Introduction
Project management process is required to be created by the organization and its project
management team. This report will use the case study of Virgin airlines in which computing
project is created as their main aim is to identify the impact and issues related to the
vulnerabilities. This report will create a project management plan for Virgin organization
including work breakdown structure and Gantt chart. This report will also conduct the research
in which the select the organizational employees as their sample size and conduct interview and

Task 1
P1. Devise project aims and objectives for a chosen scenario
Information about computing project
Proper accuracy and adequate performance has enhanced the utilization of the computing system
and resources in the business. There are many organizations which use the computers for three
main reasons such as- availability, confidentiality and integrity. There are various types of
vulnerabilities which put impact on the computer system and data security compromise and the
usability. This computing project is conducted to design the resources of computing for Virgin
organization so that they can effectively manage their airlines services for their customers and
properly manage their details with their computing resources (Schwalbe, 2015).
Aim of computing project
The main aim of this computing project is to evaluate the vulnerabilities and its impact on the
computing system used in the organization. Another aim is to uncover the usability and impact of
vulnerabilities and also to resolve the issues with the help of computing resources management.
Objectives of computing project
The objective is to understand the CIA triad significance in the organizational business
and also to identify how this is related to the computing resources.
Another aim is to identify the internet which based on vulnerabilities and the issues of
security on the resources of computer.
Also to understand the major issues of the organization this can be bear with
vulnerabilities (Martinelli and Milosevic, 2016).
Objective of this project is to analyze the performance and recommendations suggestions
in respect of the security improvement within the Virgin airlines organization.
