6. Change One: Reduced Budget • Budget reduced by 10% • Reduce the budget for the switches. • Replace the Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750X-48T-L switches • Use the Cisco Catalyst C2960S-48TS-L switches • Effect • Will lose some advanced capabilities • Power over Ethernet • Reduced QoS • Lose 10GB uplinks between switches • Maintains • Gigabit Ethernet capabilities • Scalability • IP Phone capable (will require AC power to be supplied by outlet to each IP Phone • Adjusted team costs • Project Manager hours adjusted – reduced time for meetings

7. Change Two • Loss of team member • Gloria Howard has been assigned as Project Manager to another project • Replaced by another of Chuckamania Productions fine staff • Raiko Nakamura • CCNA certified • Specialized field setup • Two years with company • Same rate of pay • Net hours reduced • Minor savings

8.

9. Old Budget

10. New Budget

11. Effect on Schedule • Ordering of Material • No effect • Change made before equipment was ordered • Configuration for switches not started yet • Schedule • Schedule stays on deadline • Project manager C W Jansen II picks up slack in work • Reduce time for meetings with Patch Productions • Will be more active in configuration and installation • This will reduce cost slightly • New team member Raiko Nakamura will only be scheduled where necessary • Net cost slightly reduced • Takes over some WBS tasks

12. Progress • Cabling • Inspected and certified • Cat 6 UTP Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors • Plenum cable exists in crawl spaces • Patch panel numbering • Matches in • All floors building 2 and 3 • Floors 1-3 in building 1 • Does not match in • Fourth floor building 1 • This will be rectified during wiring closet management portion of installation

13. Summary • Changes will effect feature set of switches. Switches will still be functional. Uplinks (links between switches or switches and router) will be reduced from 10GB to 1GB. Switches will perform required tasks and still provide scalability at reduced cost. • Replacement of team member reduces overall cost as new member will not be available until after configurations are finished. Project manager will pick up this slack without increasing time worked. This means a change from a primarily supervisory role to that of a participatory role. • Project manager hours decreased by reducing meeting times with client as per conversation with Natalie Kalmus and Cecil B. Miller.
