Project Successes
Name Description
Creating a Centralized Domain This will provide DHCP, Print Services, as well as centralizing applications, policies, and authentication
Room 111 Cabling This will provide at least one cat6 port per table for the lab network
Unexpected Events
Description
a. Third party DHCP Installation delay
b. Metal in-wall plates
c. Conduit space
d. Underpriced Budget
Impact
a. Scope extended by two weeks
b. Inability to drop cat6 cabling alongside in-wall plates
c. Inability to run two cat6 cables through existing conduit
d. Local taxes and shipping were not taken in account
Actions Taken
a. Delayed start due to delayed approval
b. Ran cables on existing tubes
c. Ran one cat6 cable through conduit
d. Previous purchases from the vendors allowed for a discount to be given
Lessons Learned
Description
1. Third party constraint delay
2. Metal plate on walls constraint
3. Conduit space
4. Underpriced budget
Recommendation
1. Project future time constraints with third-part vendors
2. Prepared for an option for separate in-wall plating for network drops
3. Planned alternative drop paths if necessary
4. Planned the budget with at least 25% of contingency
