This document mainly illustrates the status of the Network Infrastructure and Information Security Project after week 4. Basic requirements of this project are get extracted for a case study which describes network infrastructure and information security-related requirement for the City of Yule. A Project Plan document is created from requirement analysis and this document present the problem statement of the project formally. This document also defined the project mile-stones and there a probable deadline. Following the Six-Sigma standard, a Responsible Accountable Consulted Informed (RACI) matrix is created for proper distribution of the project among project group members. This matrix helps in proper monitoring of the project progress. For this work, Project objective is decomposed into two parts as:
