Homework: Project Plan Inception

Overview

This is the first of a series of five sequential homeworks (the course project) in which you will act as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a hypothetical, e-commerce start-up company of your design. A venture capital group has funded this innovative start-up.

The CEO has given you 90 days to deliver an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility. Since this is a start-up company, currently no building or technology infrastructure exists to support the business. All information technology (hardware and software) must be implemented in a hosted solution, an on-site solution, or a hybrid model. The CEO expects you to integrate different technologies from a variety of partners and incorporate industry best practices to develop the company's technological systems.

Additional background on the hypothetical company
Company Information Current Status Growth Projections (over next two years)
Facility Type New facility is a two-story standalone building --
Number of Employees 10 30
Revenue $5 million $30 million
