For communication with your groups, I recommend using each group's discussion board area under the Unit 4 group project as much as possible. To access your group’s discussion board, access the Unit 4 – Group Project assignment.  In the upper right there is a “Go To” section, and within that section there is a “My Work” heading.  Under this heading is a link to the discussion board.

Your group needs to get going, as there are a new set of questions each week to answer during weeks 1-4.  The group questions are different than the individual questions for IP1.  The questions for week 1 that the group needs to answer are:

1.       What specific and detailed requirements are addressed in the solution, and how?

2.       What does Verbania need from an IT perspective to set up the needed infrastructure?

3.       What is included in the solution's hardware and software infrastructure?

4.       Include a high level network diagram that illustrates the required hardware/software infrastructure on the company's premise.

5.       Explain access from the perspective of employee (internal and external access) and end user (remote access).

Use the group's DB area to coordinate with each other, to volunteer for the different questions, and to provide your answers.  At the end of each week, the group should have a draft paper that includes the group answers.  The template for the paper is available in the IP1 assignment description.
