Provide a status report to your classmates and instructor. Describe any modifications that you have made to the design or documentation, discuss whether you encountered any new challenges or risks, and describe the mitigation strategy you implemented for addressing each risk. Are you meeting the objectives identified in your system proposal?

What hardware, software, virtual desktop resources, and so on will you need to design and implement your system?

What adjustments have you made to your document based on peer feedback?

How do system components and applications interface and share data?

In response to your peers, provide constructive feedback on their system design document progress and suggestions that they can incorporate into their documentation or projects. Is a sufficient amount of detailed information being provided to enable implementation by any skilled IT practitioner? Do you see any potential obstacles that they might come up against? If so, what approach can they take to overcome these challenges?

When preparing your status reports, be sure that they are clear and well written. Engage your classmates in discussions that mimic the team dynamics expected in professional, real-world information technology project environments.

Refer to the Discussion Rubric for directions on completing these discussions.
