ASSIGNMENT DETAILS
Unit 3 Assignment 1: Project Progress, Illustration, and Identification of Issues
Outcomes addressed in this activity:
Unit Outcomes:
Create diagrams and updates for a technology project.
Assess legal, ethical, social, and global implications of a technology project.
Course Outcome:
IT599-4: Ethical Theories and Practices: Evaluate information systems’ legal, ethical, social, and global implications to justify decisions and optimize social outcomes.
Purpose
Your project should now be well-defined from the proposal and implementation plans already completed. This assignment will take you further into the project by illustrating ideas (diagramming) and exploring wider implications of legal, ethical, social, and global concerns while also providing an update on the project’s progress.
All students need Microsoft Word, Excel, and Visio to complete this assignment. Mac users must ensure that Office is within the same Windows environment as Visio to embed diagrams, as images/screenshots are unacceptable. No other diagramming software is allowed. Students who have chosen the Project Management Track will also need Microsoft Project.
Assignment Instructions and Requirements
First Steps
You will actively and consistently work on your project in this unit and the next few weeks.
Status Updates for Week 3
As usual, retrieve the assignment template to earn points for this assignment. Note that paragraphs will be single-spaced, and a blank line should be placed between paragraphs and headings for readability; this must look like a work document and not at all like a school paper. Keep all subheadings as presented in the template.
Cover:
Replace “Project Name” with a descriptive name for your project.
Replace “X” with either a real client’s name, a made-up client name, or your professor’s name.
Replace “Y” with your first and last names.
Replace “Z” with the date you completed this document.
Starting on page 2, replace “Content Here” with the following:
Scope Update
Provide one paragraph explaining the scope of your project. This could be partially copied from your Unit 2 Assignment Overview and Requirements.
If there are changes, explain what the changes are and why they occurred.
If there are no changes, explain why the scope has not changed.
Write 70–100 words for this section of the document.
Costs Update
If there are changes:
Option 1: Insert the same embedded Excel table you developed for Unit 2 and make changes as necessary.
Option 2: Write a paragraph of 60–90 words briefly explaining the changes.
If there are no changes:
Write a paragraph of 60–90 words explaining why there are no cost changes, what costs might be unexpected later, and/or what costs might be helpful in the future if the project scope is increased or features added.
Schedule Update
Project Management Track:
First, make a copy of your Gantt file (WBS) you submitted for Unit 2.
Rename the copy for Unit 3 (see below).
Make changes to the Unit 3 version to show completion of tasks/progress. Consider changing the color of the text or cells or applying bold to clearly identify items that have been completed.
Progress is expected and required.
Write 60-90 words in the Word template as an overview of the changes. Also, mention that full details are in the separate WBS.
IT Specialist Track:
Copy and paste your Word table schedule from your Unit 2 submission in this unit’s template.
Make changes if necessary.
Identify project progress in the table by using the Word highlighting tool in the home ribbon, changing the font color, or making use of bold or italic text. Do not use Track Changes.
Progress is expected and required.
Legal, Ethical, Social, and Global Implications
Identify a minimum of four issues/problems regarding your project that must be considered. Note that this is only identifying what problems could occur; you will devise a mitigation plan in Unit 4. If you need ideas to get started, check the Reading part of this unit.
Mention at least four separate ideas:
At least one must deal with potential legal and/or ethical problems.
At least one must address global concerns.
Identify each potential problem clearly as legal, ethical, social, and/or global.
Write 100–130 words for this section.
Present this information as a bulleted list or in a Word table (it is your choice).
Communication
Project Management Track: Communication plan
Review example plans.
In a Word table, develop at least four categories (columns).
Complete at least four meetings/update/issue rows.
IT Specialist Track: Draft of letter to stakeholders
This is a draft, which means you are simply inserting the content as regular paragraphs in the template.
Content: The purpose is to explain the project and the timeline in a letter to stakeholders.
In the first paragraph, briefly explain the project and why you are sending the letter.
In the second paragraph, present an overview of project progress (consider explaining major milestones) and when you expect the project to be completed.
Since this includes end-users and others, do not provide any technical jargon or details.
Write 80–100 words, all in paragraph form (no lists or tables).
Diagram(s)
Review diagramming information.
After checking the possibilities explained in the PDF linked directly above, create at least one Microsoft Visio diagram for your project.
Ensure that the diagram is embedded in the Word template.
Additional Proof of Progress
If visual proof is available, include screenshots or other visual proof that the work is in progress. Ensure that the images are explained.
If visual proof is not available, write 100–120 words explaining the progress you have made and what you expect to do in the next week to keep project development momentum.
Optional content
Should you feel that an additional section of information would be appropriate for your project’s documentation this week, add the subheading Addendum at the end of the template and insert this information after that subheading. This would not earn points but may help keep pertinent documentation together. It is not required to include an addendum.
Additional Parameters
This must be completed using your critical thinking and knowledge gained throughout the program instead of the direct use of source materials.
Any resources necessary for the project’s completion (such as vendors, tutorials, open-source materials, etc.) should be identified by name and full URL.
Proofread your work for grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formality. While first-person writing is allowed and logical in parts, limit it where possible.
Directions for Submitting Your Assignment
Name your Word document with the following convention:
IT599-Update-Week3-LastName-FirstName (using your own name).
Project Management Track: Name your Project file with this convention:
IT599-WBS-Week3-LastName-FirstName (using your own name).
Make sure you read all instructions carefully and review the grading rubric before submitting to the Dropbox for Unit 3 Assignment 1.

Project Overview and Requirements
The establishment of Cloud-Based File Storage is an instrumental development in our
document management strategy that will enhance operational efficiency and bolster measures to
safeguard data at GreennLeaf Technologies. The proposed system should create a solid platform
for file storage. This considerably stable and scalable cloud can enable easy access to documents
and collaboration of files throughout the organization. In the changing scenery of a digital
workspace, this initiative is designed to increase agility, productivity, and collaboration based on
our commitment to always being at the front end of technological advancement. (Han et al., 2021)
Implementing this systemic strategy is expected to protect sensitive information and provide our
personnel with innovative, collaborative tools, which will support the ongoing growth and
development of GreenLeaf Technologies.
GreenLeaf Technologies designs the Cloud File Storage and Collaboration System well
to meet all project requirements. Thus, the system is scalable and can meet GreenLeaf’s
expanding storage demands related to its digital infrastructure and be instrumental in setting up
the company’s future. With these security measures in place, the employees can collaborate
securely to guarantee data integrity and confidentiality. It also fits flawlessly into the current IT
infrastructure and does not cause much disturbance, making a smooth transition viable. The
functionality of supporting document access through remote allowances enhances operational
flexibility as the digital workplace is continuously changing (Wu et al., 2020). People are trained
through a comprehensive employee training program to ensure they acquire the skills and learn
how to use this new system almost immediately. Moreover, the company would ensure
responsible information handling securely by complying with data protection laws and industry
norms.

Performance Measures and Quality Plan
Enormous strategies for monitoring will include a performance measurement plan that is
first-rate in the industry while focusing on the efficacy of the Cloud-based File Storage and
Collaboration System project. Every time, there will be a stringent focus on regular security audits,
penetration testing, and setting up of intrusion detection systems for evaluating how effective
measures are in ensuring the protection of the data. Data protection will be quantified through
encryption metrics and a detailed incident response plan that enables prompt action in case of
security breaches. The project’s cost-effectiveness will be measured by way of Return on
Investment (ROI), which is a net gain to total costs, and the savings in costs due to improved
operational efficiency will be identified. User satisfaction and adoption metrics will utilize surveys
and feedback mechanisms to ensure continuous improvements in usability (Scheuner & Leitner,
2020). Time saved in document retrieval and collaboration processes, manual data management
tasks minimization, and system uptime will be tracked through operational efficiency metrics. This
supports a comprehensive approach that ensures thorough assessment as GreenLeaf
Technologies’ objectives change (Marr, 2021). Regular review of specific success metrics will be
necessary to keep the high-performance levels enduring while keeping the project’s overall
triumphant nature.
Risk Management Plan
The Cloud-Based File Storage and Collaboration System project is intrinsically tied to
effective risk management. Identified risks and their corresponding mitigation or contingency
plans are documented in detail to manage potential challenges. The changes in the Triple
Constraint model are recognized, and a mitigation strategy is put forth using regular reviews, a
change control board, and transparent communication with stakeholders to resolve alterations
quickly (Westland, 2023). This risk is categorized as high and tackled with robust encryption
protocols, frequent security audits, and staff training sessions using guidance from cybersecurity
experts to reinforce the system against attacks (Indeed Editorial Team, 2023). This scope creep
risk is crucial, so addressing it should be a detailed project scope stakeholder sign-off change
request process and communication regarding boundaries throughout this part. Continuous risk
assessment and updates will be made throughout the lifecycle of this project, ensuring risks are
proactively managed as they emerge, which sets up adoption perfectly for implementing a CloudBased File Storage and Collaboration System.

Enormous strategies for monitoring will include a performance measurement plan that is
first-rate in the industry while focusing on the efficacy of the Cloud-based File Storage and
Collaboration System project. Every time, there will be a stringent focus on regular security audits,
penetration testing, and setting up of intrusion detection systems for evaluating how effective

encryption metrics and a detailed incident response plan that enables prompt action in case of
security breaches. The project’s cost-effectiveness will be measured by way of Return on
Investment (ROI), which is a net gain to total costs, and the savings in costs due to improved
operational efficiency will be identified. User satisfaction and adoption metrics will utilize surveys
and feedback mechanisms to ensure continuous improvements in usability (Scheuner & Leitner,
2020). Time saved in document retrieval and collaboration processes, manual data management
tasks minimization, and system uptime will be tracked through operational efficiency metrics. This
supports a comprehensive approach that ensures thorough assessment as GreenLeaf
Technologies’ objectives change (Marr, 2021). Regular review of specific success metrics will be
necessary to keep the high-performance levels enduring while keeping the project’s overall

Risk Management Plan
The Cloud-Based File Storage and Collaboration System project is intrinsically tied to
effective risk management. Identified risks and their corresponding mitigation or contingency
plans are documented in detail to manage potential challenges. The changes in the Triple
Constraint model are recognized, and a mitigation strategy is put forth using regular reviews, a

experts to reinforce the system against attacks (Indeed Editorial Team, 2023). This scope creep
risk is crucial, so addressing it should be a detailed project scope stakeholder sign-off change
request process and communication regarding boundaries throughout this part. Continuous risk
assessment and updates will be made throughout the lifecycle of this project, ensuring risks are
proactively managed as they emerge, which sets up adoption perfectly for implementing a CloudBased File Storage and Collaboration System.
