You'll create a project plan using a template from the project management office you are working for.
For this assignment, you are the project manager for a new campus-wide network going on the college campus. You will need to consider routers, switches, cabling, firewalls, internet access, point to point links to the college data center.
You will be completing this project plan with your knowledge of technology. You will not be graded on your technical knowledge of networking, but more on the large concepts of implementing a college network.
