Communication Projects Reflections
I have chosen my capstone 2 course projects each about the same project just a before and after. The first is a project proposal to implement a change in a real-world company, I chose to make the users data more secure with encryption and a virtual private network connection. The follow up is the implementation project closure document going through the steps of the project and securing the users data. These artifacts were created around 6/17/2020 and 10/16/2020. The purpose of these items was to simulate being part of a project and to learn the steps of the project life cycle and the different ways to go about managing a project. I preferred the agile methodology architecture. The original purpose of the documents was to simulate being part of or managing a project from start to finish.
These documents demonstrate my ability to communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts because documenting is a large part of IT work, especially projects, and this was a lot of documentation about various parts of this project. I needed to demonstrate my knowledge of the project life cycle and how each step was managed. I learned that there are many methodology architectures used to complete different projects and some fit better depending on the situation. I learned about risk management and mitigation strategies, verifying if the project is working or not, and that even if mistakes were made it will be a learning experience for future projects. I chose this item because I believe it demonstrates my ability to communicate and document Information Technology related material. Both the documents showcase my ability to communicate effectively.
I learned about the way projects are managed and their lifecycle from proposal to post-mortem. I also learned that it is much cheaper to outsource for your database than to maintain your own. Using a IaaS and VPNaaS is a much more cost efficient option for companies. I faced many challenges during these courses, many involved researching companies to fit the bill for the company since Parentune.com is based in India and many company details were not published for anyone to see. If I had to remake this artifact, I would have tried to find more examples of a real company that uses IaaS and VPNaaS providers and found more test results to use as results for my test scenarios. This item greatly explained and demonstrated the way projects are managed and how they work. The artifacts gave me a project team experience on what the documentation process is like and what would be expected from an IT professional.
