Green Computing
Case Study 3: Green Computing Research Project – Part 5
The Green Computing Research Project is an enormous project for We Are Big. As the Project Manager over this account it’s important for our team to satisfy key stakeholders. Not only for the Green Computing Research Project is it important for Project Managers to provide what if scenarios but also for all projects. Computer model tools are used to present these what if scenarios to project stakeholders. One of the tasks of the Green Computing Research Project is telecommunication. In order for employees to be able to work remotely the company’s virtual private network (VPN) system must be redundant. The redundancy is a form of backup connection for remote employees. When it comes down to employees always having access to perform their jobs what if scenarios should be considered. Performing these what if scenarios assists with having quality data and quality infrastructures.
Quality data is valuable for every project. There are seven basic tools and techniques used for quality control, one of those tools are flowcharts. “Flowcharts are graphic displays of the logic and flow of processes that help you analyze how problems occur and how processes can be improved. They show activities, decision points, and the order of how information is processed” (Schwalbe, 305).
The below flowchart is a depiction of “what if” scenario in the event that telecommuters aren’t able to log into the companies VPN to perform their jobs remotely. The scenario will be considered during the design details of The Green Computing Research Project. Telecommuting is an important task for this project. During the design phase it has to be considered that a redundant VPN connection is required in case the primary VPN goes down or has a slow connection. As a last resort if a telecommuter is unable to work remotely each telecommuter must have a home office available to perform their job. These steps are easily viewable below
