Title: SharePoint Upgrade Project plan on Amazon Web Services

ISM 650 Information Systems Project Methodologies I
1. INTRODUCTION
This paper shows the systematic structure in which Amazon’s project plan becomes a
success in the deployment of a self-service portal platform for sites that were internally built by
internal and external stakeholders, employees and the IT Team in specific, to produce Microsoft
SharePoint 2010 and a SQL Server 2010 Enterprise storage database to the Amazon Web
Services (Amazon Web Service) cloud. This project plan should have all stakeholders to engage
in the development of the project. Main stakeholders are the director of this project, employees
who take part in the design and implementation process of the upgraded application versions, and
shareholders (Jeff Bezos, Fidelity Management& Research Company) who will sponsor part of
the project’s plan. Similarly the project will also require the involvement of external stakeholders
e.g. Microsoft, which is their main competitor in terms of cloud storage, online sellers, customers
and local community members. In converting this process, other than the AWS Cloud offering
the on-demand resources such as the SQL server 2010, we will need to run prior solutions and
also provide a systematic way to outline the provision and configuration of defined steps so that
deployment is easy. This project’s outline towards the completion of the upgrade process include;
Project Charter
Scope of the project
Change Control
Project Management Process
Project Schedule
, 2. PROJECT CHARTER
2.1 Business Needs
Upon deployment of this process, the project instantly adapts to the corresponding
business transformation framework. When users decide to run SharePoint 2010 on the Amazon
Web services, they are able to add capacity as required, with minimized lead time. The project
therefore can be scaled either up or down since the overall business needs is heavily dependent
on change. The introduction of this project therefore makes the project’s objectives stay ahead of
the curve by making an adjustment on time in minutes an hours and not in days or weeks.
Amazon web services, upon the completion of this project, is envisaged to offer low
pricing based on pay-as-you-go, that reduces costs on hardware acquisition thus allowing for
customers pay for the only specified capacity they need. Top executive management,
stakeholders and sponsors will be accountable for the cost of the AWS Services that will be used
in running the Quick Start Reference deployment. This project plan restricts any additional cost
for the use of the Quick Start. The AWS cloud formation based on the upgrade of SharePoint
2010 deployed will include configuration pre-requisites that customers can customize and other
settings such as the number of instances and various kinds of instances, which can extensively
affect the project’s deployment cost.
, 2.2 Project Manager
The Amazon Project manager is responsible for managing the designed process of taking
counter measures on any problem that may happen to customers; such as Data breach SharePoint
security concern or need for further advancement of the cloud computing technology to create a
robust environment through which there is sufficient room for collaboration and communication
to help in the innovation process around customer solutions. The project manager will help
consumers experience engagements on a high quality level around Amazon consulting service
line (SharePoint 2010) in a wide client environment.
2.3 Project sponsor
The project sponsor is the crucial element in our project development plan. The project
sponsor being a major stakeholder he/she can be a business member. In most cases the project
plan requires the information system management who may at times be project sponsors. As we
plan on having this project running (upgraded SharePoint 2010 into amazon cloud services), the
project sponsor is responsible for initiating projects. After the project is initiated and ready to go,
the project sponsor progressively will sign off the projects’ funding. As we continue on with our
project, the project sponsor will be receiving periodic project status updates on the each
continuous process the project undergoes i.e. from revising the prior project on SharePoint 10
link with the amazon web services, to implementing and deploying the upgraded project process.
