PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Title
The project mainly focuses on the development of wireless Network.
2. Rationale
2.1 Problem domain
It is found that earlier the organizations utilizes wired network for managing their
functions and operations. Due to the presence of wired network, the organizations face lot of
challenges including inappropriate mobility as well as improper access to information. Due to
the use of wired network, the organizations are not able to enhance their network and as a
result, the organization faces lot of challenges and issues in managing the functions and
operations of the organizations properly.
2.2 Purpose and justification
In order to resolve the challenges and issues, the organizations wants to implement
wireless network. Due to the implementation of wireless network, the organizations are able
to enhance their network in a very much cost effective way. In addition to this, the employees
of the organizations can be capable of connecting the information where required and can be
able to improve the processes of the organizations.
3. Sponsor or Supervisor recommendation
The sponsor or the supervisor recommends for completing the entire project within
the budget that is approved in order to resolve financial issues that are mainly associated with
the project. Proper management of project budget is necessary for completing the project
within the budget that is approved.

4. Research Questions
The research questions are as follows:
 What are the challenges that are resolved due to the implementation of wireless
network?
 What are the advantages that can be achieved due to the implementation of
wireless network
 What are the difficulties that are faced during the implementation of wireless
network?
5. Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
According to Hu and Qian (2014), wireless network is defined as a computer network
which are not connected with the help of cables of any kind. It is found that the wireless
network helps in enabling the enterprises for avoiding the expensive procedure of introducing
cables or connection within different locations (Liang & Yu, 2015). It is found that wireless
networks are very much beneficial and the benefits of the wireless networks are elaborated
below:
Increased productivity: The wireless network assists in promoting productivity and
assists in employees in collaboration. It further assists in brining freedom of both speed as
well as operation within the working process (Andrews et al., 2016)
Enhanced mobility: Increased mobility is considered as one of the biggest attraction
that the wireless networks generally holds. It is found that with the help of wireless networks,
the information related with business can get the access of the server.

Cost effective: It is found that wireless networks are very much cost effective as
compared to wired network (Biswas et al., 2015). It is found that wireless network only needs
small amount of cost for installation as well as maintenance.
6. Methodology
6.1 Research and Systems Development method(s)
It found that development of wireless network utilizes joint application design (JAD)
in order to speed up the entire design stage of the project. The main purpose of this system
development method is to identify the executive goal of the project as per the need of the user
(Yang et al., 2014).
6.2 Data collection or systems design methods
It is found that both primary and secondary data collection methods are used. It is
found secondary data collection is used for collecting information bout the wireless network
and it is done by reviewing different journals and articles. On the other hand, primary data
collection method is undertaken by interviewing the network engineers of various
organizations who have undertaken similar type of projects.
Detailed system design is utilized for the development of the wireless network. This is
used as it follows appropriate architectural design and generally reflects on all the stages that
are required for executing the project (Kotlarsky et al., 2015).
6.3 Ethical Issues
The ethical issues are as follows:
 Security related issues can occur
 Pressurizing workers or staffs to work beyond shift hours

6.4 Compliance Requirements
It is quite necessary to utilize appropriate safety and health regulations for
maintaining appropriate work environment. Moreover, these regulations are quite helpful in
avoiding fatal accidents.
6.5 Analysis of data
It is identified that due to the utilization of wireless network the performance of the
organization improves by 70%. In addition to this, it is found that the organization can
improve as well as enhance their business by providing proper customer service to the
customers without any challenges.
7. Project Plan
7.1 Deliverables
It can be concluded that the development of wireless network is quite beneficial as the
organization as the performance of the organization is improved. It is found that wireless
network is helpful in providing proper security, mobility, scalability and more. In addition to
that, it is found with the help of wireless network, the productivity of the organization can
also be increased. In spite of the advantages, it is necessary to utilize the following steps that
are recommended below for proper functioning of the network system
 Enabling firewall of the operating system
 Installing anti-virus software
 Keeping OS up to date
