Brian Smith, network administrator at Advanced Energy Technology (AET), has been given the responsibility of implementing the migration of a large data center to a new office location. Careful planning is needed because AET operates in the highly competitive petroleum industry. AET is one of five national software companies that provide an accounting and business management package for oil jobbers and gasoline distributors. A few years ago, AET jumped into the application service provider world. Their large data center provides clients with remote access to AETs complete suite of application software systems. Traditionally, one of AETs primary competitive advantages has been the companys trademark IT reliability. Due to the complexity of this project, Brian will have to use a parallel method of implementation. Although this will increase project costs, a parallel approach is essential if reliability is not to be compromised.

(Rest of case not shown due to length.)

  1. Generate a priority matrix for AET's system move.
  2. Develop a WBS for Brian's project. Include duration (days) and predecessors
  3. Using a project planning tool, generate a network diagram for this project.
