PMIT Project Management: Broadband Service Implementation Plan

This project plan outlines the implementation of a broadband service in a small Australian city, addressing the need for improved internet connectivity for residents. The plan includes a clear project outline with start and end dates, goals, and objectives. It details both non-functional (availability, performance, reliability) and functional requirements (historical data, authentication, business rules). Key project team members and their roles are defined, including the project manager, network analyst, workers, network engineers, project planner, network administrator, and sponsor. The project plan covers scope, a work breakdown structure, time estimation, resource needs (hardware, software, human resources), a Gantt chart, cost estimation, a quality plan, stakeholder analysis, a communication plan, and a risk management plan. The cost estimation indicates a total project cost of $209,680. The document concludes with project sign-off and recommendations for post-project maintenance and authorization, emphasizing the importance of reliable and secure internet service. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Introduction
The paper mainly reflects on the project that generally aims to implement a broadband service
within an Australian city for providing proper services of internet connection. It is found that the entire
plan of implementing the broadband services was prepared for the people who generally lives in the city
who mainly live far away from the cities and are not getting proper internet services. As the Australian
government wants to provide the service to each and every single citizen therefore the project was
executed for providing them the opportunity of keeping touch with the other parts of the world with the
proper facility of internet connect.
2. Clear outline of the projectStart date: 31-05-2019
End date:11-10-19
Goals: The goal is to successfully provide proper facility of internet connection to a small city in Australia

Objectives: The objectives include:
 To implement the broadband services
 To provide proper opportunity of internet connection
3. Project needs
Non-Functional requirements
Availability: The services by the broadband
should be present 24x7.
Performance: High speed service should be given
to the users so that they do not face issues
related with speed while using the internet
connection service.
Reliability: The provided services should be very
much reliable such that the people will have trust
on the provided services.
Functional requirements Historical data: The broadband service that is
provided generally assists in providing proper

5.9 Risk management plan
Risk Description Impact Probability Mitigation
Delay Delay generally
occurs within the
entire project
team as the
project manager
does not focus on
schedule tracking
effectively and as
a result the
closure date of
the project mainly
extends.
High High The project
manager should
focus on the
schedule and
must keep track
on the entire
schedule such
that the entire
project gets
finished time by
avoiding slippage
of schedule.
Improper

During the

financial issues.
are considered as
one of the
significant step for
budget estimation
and therefore
analysis should be
done by the
project manager
before estimation.
Improper
installation of
hardware
If the hardware is
not effectively
installed then the
services of
broadband are of
low speed and are
not reliable.
High Medium It is found that in
order to get
reliable services,
the installation of
the hardware
should be
effectively
installed.
Lack of skills Inappropriate
skills of the team
members are not
identified to
appropriate for
undertaking
within the project
then the project
work gets
affected
negatively.
Medium Medium Recruitment of

plays an
important role in
finishing the work
of the project.
