Project Scenario

Your manager is putting together teams for a CTF competition coming up in a few months with some of the largest companies. Centralia Technology wants its own teams to compete with the best in the country. 

As a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst Blue Teamer at Centralia Technology, you have been asked to submit a survey to your manager of an individual CTF activity.

The CTF activities are designed to create a collaborative team learning environment. Your manager wants everyone to participate in a simulated CTF event individually. Following that, you will be placed into a team so that you and your team members can combine your skill sets to analyze and solve challenges.

Section II: Strategies Employed

Explain how you approached two of the 10 CTF challenges you attempted and solved. For example, what techniques, tools, websites, or other resources did you use?

Section III: Lessons Learned 

· What are your strengths/How would your skills benefit a CTF team? 

· Which challenge banks did you find easy?

· What areas do you need more practice in? 

· Which challenge banks did you struggle with or avoid? 

· Were there challenges you attempted but did not complete or challenges that you did not attempt?

· How can you improve your skills in that area (strategies, tools, websites, etc.)?

Ridgeline Mountain Outfitters (RMO), RMO’s strategic information systems plan calls for building a new Consolidated Sales and Marketing System (CSMS).

Project Report 1 (Steps 1‒4) focuses on defining, justifying, and planning the project.

Step 1: Define the project

This step should clearly define the project including, at a minimum: a description of the business need to be addressed, a statement of the project’s scope and general feasibility, a “ballpark” schedule, and a resource plan and budget. Additional data and detail is not required, but helps steer a desired outcome.

Step 2: Identify system requirements

This step should discuss the analysis activities associated with understanding and documenting the business needs and processing requirements for the proposed system. What are the desired outputs of the system and what are the major data requirements? Also, the constraints that are expected should be discussed. This step should include as much detail as possible. The remaining steps of the project will start to pivot off of Step 2.

Step 3: Develop a feasibility study

This section of the report will use the items developed in Steps 1 and 2 to specify the project’s risks and probability of success and will confirm the project’s feasibility in each of the dimensions mentioned in the textbook: economic, technological, organizational, and so on. A completed project is not always a successful project. The developed feasibility study in this step will narrow the focus and drive the project to a higher success rate.

Step 4: Schedule the project

This final section of Project Report 1 will develop a detailed project schedule and indicate specific resource needs.

Assignment Details

In some manner, people have all performed project management at various times in their lives, often without even knowing that they were doing it. Project management is performing and completing a group of activities to accomplish some specific goal. Project management can be applied to something as large and complex as putting humans on Mars to as small and simple as building a tree house in your backyard. In either situation, the projects progress through the same stages.

Think about something that you have done that fits the definition of a project, and discuss how the project progressed through the different phases of the project life cycle. Submit a 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe      the project and how it differed from an operation.
• What      activities were performed that were part of following phases?
  • Initiating
  • Planning
  • Executing
  • Closing
• How      were the principles of project management applied to this project?
• What      skills and knowledge of the project manager were applied to make you      successful (or were lacking, which led to failure)?
• What      lessons were learned in this project that could be applied to future      projects?

Use this template to complete this assignment.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

• Title page: The      title should be in all capitals.
• Length: 3 pages      minimum
• Body: This      begins on the page following the title page and abstract page and must be      double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between      paragraphs).

A variety      of academic sources is encouraged.
• Reference page: References      that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final page      of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate      spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as      appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is      not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body      citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a      corresponding in-body citation.
