Project Management – Infrastructure Design
This is the third in a series of five sequential assignments (the course project) in which you continue to act as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a hypothetical e-commerce start-up company of your design.
You have been working on delivering an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility.
This assignment consists of two-parts:
Part 1: Infrastructure Design
You will create an 8–10 page infrastructure design document to include key technical elements for your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart
You will use Microsoft Project to again update the supporting project Gantt chart begun in your first course project deliverable:
You are not creating a new Gantt chart, only updating the one you created in the previous assignment with the major and minor tasks uncovered while creating the infrastructure design document.
Note:
You are to create or infer all necessary assumptions to successfully complete this assignment.
You must submit both parts as separate files to the assignment area. Label each file name according to the appropriate part.
Part 1: Infrastructure Design Document
Write an 8–10 page infrastructure design document in which you:
Identify the major hardware and software components of your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.

Document the potential security vulnerabilities and a security design for your e-commerce company.
Use graphics tools to create a data flow diagram (DFD) for your e-commerce company.
Use three sources to support your writing. (Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. Access the library or review library guides for help with research, writing, and citation.)
Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart

Update the previously created Gantt chart with the major and minor tasks identified in the infrastructure design document
