Abstract
In this paper I will assume a new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. In addition, they want the site redesigned to allow customers to order products online.
As part of my job, I must complete a 10-to-15 page paper that follows this project through the system development life cycle (SDLC). This assignment will require I to do the following: * Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move …show more content…
* Evaluate alternatives to the company self-hosting the site. * Build a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project or equivalent software, showing all tasks associated with implementing the Website. * The chart should include a minimum of five (5) tasks, each with three (3) sub-tasks. * Explain and justify the system architecture you have selected. * Illustrate the system architecture using Visio or equivalent software. * Create a use case that documents the event of a customer ordering a bag of chips from the new Website. * The use case should include a graphical representation using Visio or equivalent software and a text description of the events. * Discuss the support operations that the internally hosted Website will require after implementation. * Explain how you will evaluate the performance of the new site and the success of your project.
