Case Study 1: Building an Access Control System
Case Study 1: Building an Access Control System
As a member of the Information Security team at a small college, you
have been made the project manager to install an access control system
(ACS) in a dormitory. The ACS will automatically unlock the dormitory
doors via an electronic proximity reader and integrate with an existing
security camera system. The cameras are designed to face and rotate to
record a person as they use their identification card to unlock the
door.
Create a 3-4 page project plan for this project in which you:
Include a one-half page project scope statement.
Define five (5) major tasks, each with one to two (1-2) subtasks. Also write a brief description for each task.
Create a Gantt chart illustrating the project tasks (use Microsoft Project or a similar project management program).
Create a system diagram illustrating the equipment and connections required for this project (use Microsoft Visio or a similar software package).
Your assignment must:
Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
Include charts or diagrams created in Excel, Visio, MS Project, or one of their equivalents such as Open Project, Dia, and OpenOffice. The completed diagrams/charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.
The specific Course Learning Outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Distinguish between non-functional and functional requirements.
Use contemporary CASE tools in process and data modeling.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in systems analysis and development.
Write clearly and concisely about Systems Analysis and Development topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
