Is this project scope statement missing any additional steps or is there room for improvement? I'm limited to certain pages for this assignment and wonder if I'm leaving something out that's important. First will be the scope statement that I'm working on and the other is the project charter that I'm making the scope out of. Project Charter Project Objective

The objective of this project is to modernize three 20-seat computer labs at a university and equip them with state-of-the-art PCs and smart TVs, as well as a secure environment where students can foster collaborative learning.

Project Charter: Desktop Lab Project

Project title

Desktop Lab Retrofit and Security Enhancement

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to modernize three twenty-seat computer labs at a university and equip them with updated PC and Smart TVs; these updates are to improve collaboration and the learning environment; the project will ensure that the labs are secure and that the labs comply with the university's cybersecurity guidelines and provide a secure, user-friendly environment

Description

The project will focus on upgrading three computer labs; each will be equipped with 20 desktop PC and three smart TVs; these upgrades aim to foster collaborative learning and improve the educational experience by:

• Ensuring PCs are configured to comply with the university's security protocols, which include
  • Authentication through active directory
  • Session timeouts for inactive users
  • Protection from malware and keyloggers
  • Continuous updates and threat monitoring

1. Scope Statement

The project will include the following activities:

• Installation of 20 Desktops and three smarts Tv's in each of the three labs
• Configuration of the PC so that users can be authenticated through the university's directory
• Implementation of session timeouts due to idle time and security measures to prevent the installation of malware
• Regular updates to maintain security
• Establish recommendations for physical security measures for the lab

Out of Scope:

• The project does not include any post-project maintenance and ongoing technical support

Objectives

• Successfully retrofit the three labs with the required desktops and smart Tv's
• Configure the desktops to meet university security measures
• Implement both physical and digital security measures in the lab
• Complete the project on time and budget

Success Criteria

1. All labs are fully functional and secure by the project deadline
2. Students can authenticate themselves on the university's site and use the PC in compliance with the university's guidelines
3. Malware protection is fully operational, and no unauthorized software is installed
4. Physical security measures are in place, including controlled access and surveillance
5. The project is complete within budget and timeline
6. Deliverables

Retrofitted lab

• 20 Desktop PCs and 3 Smart TVs per lab
• All PCs are configured for active authentication and session management

Security Measures

• Protection against malware
• Continuous updates for the PCs and connected devices
• Logging and Monitoring systems are installed

Physical security recommendation

• Surveillance cameras installed in labs
• Card-based access system for the labs

Acceptance Criteria

1. Retrofitted Lab
   • PC meets authentication requirements and security protocols
   • Smart TVs are set up and connected to the network
2. Security Measures
   • No unauthorized software can be installed
   • Security updates and threat monitoring are active and functional
3. Physical Security
   • Install locks on all computer cabinets and equipment
   • Use card-based access to restrict entry to the labs
