Scenario
You are working as a leader in a small team in a department store. Currently, your team has 15 employees. Due to the nature of the marketing department, most of the team members have team-based projects and rely on digital technologies. The department has 15 desktop computers and Microsoft Office 2003 is installed on the computers. The employees currently use email to send and receive the worked files
The department must comply with the following policies and procedures:
- Files must not be saved on desktop computers.
- Use email communication for the team-based project.
- Print out a hard copy of the business report for approval.
- Use email to communicate with the team members. Only face-to-face meetings are available for a team meeting. Therefore, the team members use a USB drive to save their work files.
