2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Overview
ABC Pvt. Ltd. is a private single operator business that is willing to upgrade the existing
IT setup to increase the overall efficiency of the operations and provide the employees with
updated workstations to work on. The company operates with a small management team and
around 50 employees who work on old and outdated desktop workstations. For some time, the
employees have been reporting various issues like system lag, sudden stop of the system, long
start up time, very slow calculations and others. Following these feedbacks, the company has
decided to update the workstations as well as increase the number of workstations to increase the
employee capacity of the company.
As a part of the estimated plan, a total 500 workstations will be purchased and installed
of which, 250 will be desktops and 250 will be laptops. In addition, while the existing systems
run on Windows XP, Windows 2016 will be installed in the new systems.
Project Background and Description
The company currently runs with old and outdated workstations with Windows XP
operating system and hence, the business processes are extremely slow. As a result, the
customers are often dissatisfied with the services and choose to conduct business with other
companies. Hence the company has decided to undertake a project in order to install new
workstations in place of the old ones and also update the operating system to the most current
version. Furthermore, the company is looking to expand and add more employees and hence, the
total number of workstations will also have to be increased to accommodate more employees.

3PROJECT MANAGEMENT
As per the initial estimation, a total of 500 new workstations required (including
replacement and new systems). The company has decided that of these 500 workstations, 250
desktops will be purchased and the rest of the workstations will be laptops. While the laptops are
much more expensive than desktops, they will save considerable amount of physical space.
Furthermore, each of the management team members will be provided with laptop workstations
only. Each new workstation will have fully updated and fully licensed Windows 2016 operating
system installed. As per the estimation, the project will cost the company around $750,000.
Project Scope
The scope of the project includes the following.
Selling the existing old workstations
Purchase of 250 desktop workstations with updated hardware configuration
Purchase of 250 laptop workstations with updated hardware configuration
Purchase of original licensed version of Windows 2016
Installation of all the workstations and respective software required in each of
them
The main objective behind developing all these scope items is to upgrade the existing
technical set up at the company as well as expand the business such that the company can recruit
more employees and increase the business productivity. In order to achieve this ultimate
objective of the project, it is required to deploy a technical team who will take care of installation
of hardware and software. Furthermore, it is also required to conduct a training session for the
employees who do not have sufficient technical expertise to work with the technically updated
computers.
