Scenario - 1

Design Excellence is a small interior design business that provides consultancy and installation
services specialising in kitchen and bathroom designs within the greater Sydney region. They
provide these services to both individual clients and a number of architectural firms who sub-
contract projects for their clients. They have been in operation for 12 years and have worked
extensively on a wide range of contracts.

They currently promote their services via their website and social media channels included
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They also advertise in selected design magazines and on selected
radio stations.

Design Excellence works with a large number of other businesses and trade sub-contractors when
undertaking installation work. This includes ordering bathroom and kitchen products, as well as
installation and fitting of kitchens and bathrooms.

The organisational chart of Design Excellence is provided below:

Recently Design Excellence work premises were extensively damaged in a large fire that started in a
neighbouring business. As a result of this, the entire contents of the building, including its entire
network was destroyed, and insurance costs are currently being assessed. While some business data
was lost, most of it can be recovered as the business houses backup facilities offsite.

Because of the recent disaster, and the delays in rebuilding the old premises, Design Excellence has
found a newly refurbished premise in the surrounding area. It will be moving to these premises in
the near future. The premises have already been pre-cabled with Category 6 Ethernet cable. As this
is the case, the hardware components need to be determined and purchased, along with any
software requirements to configure and manage the network, and to allow employees to complete
their normal work tasks.

You work as the IT Manager for Design Excellence. You have been tasked by Terry Jackson, who is
the Managing Director, to implement a network in the new premises, so that the business can
become operational as soon as possible.

You have pulled some of the organisations' data out of the backed-up business files. This includes
the following list of the old network components that were used before the fire:

 A domain server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard


 Client desktop computers running Windows 7 Professional
 A router which acted as the gateway/firewall for the network
 Two 24 port switches to direct network communications
 A Network Attached Storage (NAS) that stored the business files
 Two network printers
 An Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)

And a network diagram of how these components fit together:

The employees previously used the following software applications on the network:

 Microsoft Office 2013 suite


 Microsoft Project 2013 for management of projects
 Reckon One for payroll and financial requirements
 Salesforce CRM software for client management
 Adobe Reader
 Adobe suite for graphic designer requirements
 NetBeans IDE for web developer
 Autodesk AutoCAD for interior designers
 Samanage for IT asset management and IT helpdesk support

While the website, the social media accounts, Intranet files, and most of the business internal work
files were backed up and can be restored, most of the applications used by the employees and their
associated files have been lost. As such, identification of whether this software is still appropriate or
whether it can be changed should be an important priority for the project.
A summary of the main business processes includes:

 Designing kitchens and bathrooms for clients


 Purchasing supplies which are used in the kitchen and bathroom designs
 Organising installation of kitchen and bathrooms including sub-contractors
 Normal business operations in relation to sales, marketing, HR, finance, and administration.

A portion of the organisations Business Plan is provided below:

Mission: to provide design and installation of quality kitchens and bathrooms that exceed customer
expectations.

Vision: to become Australia’s best kitchen and bathroom designers.

Objectives: the current objectives are listed as follows:

 To deliver first-class kitchens and bathrooms


 To provide customer service excellence beyond expectations
 To be a sustainable business

Your task for this assessment is to determine the requirements for the new network so that business
operations can be implemented to meet the needs of the business. This should include not only the
hardware requirements but also the software requirements.

Design Excellence has Project Management policies and procedures that outline the organisational
standards expected for gathering requirements, planning the project through to implementation and
completion. A portion of the project management work procedure for gathering and analysing
requirements is provided below:

Undertaking an interview and analysing the responses

When undertaking a stakeholder interview, the facilitator should develop an Interview Agenda using
the organisational template. This should be distributed to the invitees prior to the interview time and
be used by the facilitator to conduct the interview.

During the interview, the facilitator should take notes of the responses and then analyse these using
the Interview Question Analysis Document organisational template.

Undertaking a survey and analysing the responses

When developing a survey, the facilitator should develop it using the Requirements Survey
organisational template and then distribute the survey to these stakeholders who will be completing
it. Once the survey takers have completed the survey, they are to return it to the facilitator who
should use the Survey Analysis Document to analyse the survey responses.
