documentation in a secure format while making use of their data whenever needed.

agile. The project task is related to the setup of new hardware and software systems within the

other requirements based on setting up of a computer network at their new established company.
Hence, the effective use of agile methodology is considered to be necessary as the project
manager would be responsible for delivering the project as expected.
