Part 1: Project Requirements
TASK 1: Back Ground
Western mining, a Sydney based company and currently want to extend their business
by opening a new branch office in Brisbane. They need an effective network solution in their
Brisbane office in order to enable data flow among the branch devices and with the Sydney
office. In the Brisbane office, there are mainly four department sales, operations, exploration
and management. The network design must be capable of allow up to 510 staff per
department in the Brisbane office. While in the main office they want 20 devices and one
server for every respective department. Their head office in the Sydney uses 172.20.0.0
network for their devices and want to 172.16.0.0 network for private addresses in their new
building. The head office is currently using an E1 service with Telstra but want to use an
inexpensive service with faster connection. In the Brisbane office, the data flow must also
needs to be configured as required. As Deana Troy states, the management department's
server must not be accessible from the other 3 departments but the management department's
staff must have full access to the other 3 department's networks. All hosts, including all
servers, require internet access.
Further, some additional information is needed to construct the copyright compliance, code of
ethics and conduct a privacy policy. Before finalizing such codes, companies’ approval and
previous policies needs to be evaluated. Some common questions associated with such
policies are presented in the appendix along with suitable answers.

4. Project Scope Statement
The project scope is to design a network solution which must be capable of allow up to 510 staff per
department in the Brisbane office.
Project Purpose
The purpose fo this project is to provide a detailed plan of the network design along with
implementation process. Additionally, the risks, WBS and query around the policies will be delivered.
Dependencies
The logical design cannot be constructed before the construction of physical design.
Assumptions
The internet connection and power supplies is already existed before start implementing the physical
design.
The Brisbane office must have the required infrastructure to install the network devices.

Task 2: Communication plan
In order to complete the project effectively, an effective communication plan needs to
be constructed and must be followed by both end. As shown in the gantt chart, the project
team meeting must be conducted once a week and Steering Committee meetings must be
conducted twice per month. That how the information flow and requirement changes will be

Part 3 - Question and Answer
Question 1:
In order to gather information at initial stage interviews will be conducted with certain
stakeholders. When constructing the questionnaire, general guideline to determine the
questions would be to ask “how, where, when, who, what, and why.” For how: “How might
we meet this business need, For where: “Where would the user access this feature?”
Question 2:
Western Mining privacy policy is somehow effective and needs some implementation as well
for new network implementation. There are certain flaws identified as well which are
followed:
In the existed privacy policy, no concerns about employee data is provided which is a very
critical aspect too.
All private data must be encoded as soon as possible and while the card transaction cvv can
be used as identifier.
Proposed privacy policy:
The information is not sensitive information and disclosure is for direct marketing and
it is impracticable to seek the individual’s consent and (among other things) the individual is
told that they can opt out of receiving marketing from the organisation
Personal Information will be stored for as long as the information is required to fulfill
our legitimate business needs or the purposes for which the Personal Information was
collected, or for such period as is required by law.

share a copyright work without the owner's permission - say, downloading a copy of a movie,
or making it accessible to others - they could be breaking the law by infringing copyright.
