The initiation phase involves the use of the initial information for making initial documents for submission. The planning phase would be based on the development of a plan that would be helpful for the development of the final project report. The design phase is characterized by the development of the improved operation and development. The execution phase would involve the deployment of the improved functions for the alignment of the operations that would help in listing the development of the operations for the project (Ergu et al. 2014). The closure phase involves the development of final project closure and the final documents that would be helpful for forming project completion. The timeline for the project of Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health is shown below,

The work breakdown structure for the project would show the involvement of the specific work packages represented by the complete project development. The work breakdown structure for the project of Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health is shown below,

The project phases can be considered as the work packages and they would combine to form the work breakdown structure for the project of Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health. The work breakdown structure can be explained as the summation of the project phase development (Gemünden 2015). The work packages would be helpful for the deployment of the effective integration of the operations. The deployment of the operations would be helpful for the alignment of the effective development model. The active work packages for the project were Project Initiation, Project Planning, Project Designing, Project Execution, and Project Closure. The combination of all these phases would be helpful for the formation of the improved operation development. The operational development would be helpful for the alignment of the successive development model (Lientz and Rea 2016). The initiation work package comprises of analysis of the requirements, project initiation documentation, project charter document is made, documents are submitted, sign off, and project kick off. The project kick off would act as the final milestone of the project. The planning work package would comprise of plan outline is made, plan is reviewed, schedule plan is made, cost estimation, communication planning, and plan approval. The plan approval would act as the milestone for the planning phase. The design work package would comprise of WLAN replacement design requirements are analysed, basic network topology is formed, client, router, access points, and gateways are identified, network connections are analysed, new design is made, design simulation, and design approval (JOSEPH. PHILLIPS et al. 2018). The execution work package comprise of capacity of the network is calculated, network standards are set, security functions are aligned, preparation of the network design implementation, testing in the existing office, scheduling for network moving, network migration to WLAN, network is taken down, existing switches are replaced, VPN configuration, WLAN set up is completed, new network is developed, and access to the new network is developed. The final documentation and closure work package comprises of final documents are made, submission of final documents, sign off, and project is closed (Binder 2016). The project is closed is the final milestone of the project. The project completion would be helpful for the deployment of the final WLAN network connection and the alignment of the effective operations.

The project is developed by following waterfall methodology and the alignment of the operations had been based on the integration of the traditional waterfall methodology implementation (Fernandez et al. 2015). The implementation of the waterfall methodology would be helpful for the alignment of the successive development operations. The traditional waterfall methodology would be helpful for the continuation of the effective and operations. The step by step project development would be helpful for the continuation of the final project deliverable. The methodology of the project is explained below,

Methodology Phase	Activities Involved
Initiation Phase	Analysis of the requirements Project Initiation Documentation Project Charter Document is made Documents are submitted Sign off Project Kick off
Planning Phase	Plan outline is made Plan is reviewed Schedule plan is made Cost Estimation Communication Planning Plan Approval
Design Phase	WLAN Replacement Design requirements are analysed Basic Network Topology is formed Client, Router, Access points, and Gateways are identified Network Connections are analysed New Design is Made Design Simulation Design Approval
Execution Phase	Capacity of the network is calculated Network Standards are set Security Functions are aligned Preparation of the network design implementation Testing in the existing office Scheduling for network moving Network Migration to WLAN Network is taken down Existing Switches are replaced VPN configuration WLAN set up is completed New Network is developed Access to the new network is developed
Final Documentation and Closure	Final documents are made Submission of final documents Sign off Project is Closed

The start work bundle involves examination of the prerequisites, project start documentation, project sanction record is made, archives are submitted, close down, and project commence. The undertaking kick off would go about as the last point of reference of the task (Model 2015). The arranging work bundle would include design diagram is made, design is evaluated, plan design is made, taken a toll estimation, correspondence arranging, and plan endorsement. The arrangement endorsement would go about as the breakthrough for the arranging stage. The plan work bundle would contain WLAN substitution outline prerequisites are investigated, fundamental system topology is shaped, customer, switch, get to focuses, and passages are recognized, arrange associations are dissected, new outline is made, plan re-enactment, and outline endorsement. The execution work bundle include limit of the system is computed, arrange norms are set, security capacities are adjusted, planning of the system outline usage, testing in the current office, booking for organize moving, arrange relocation to WLAN, organize is brought down, existing switches are supplanted, VPN setup, WLAN set up is finished, new system is created, and access to the new system is produced (Madgunda et al. 2015). The last documentation and conclusion work bundle contains last archives are made, accommodation of definite reports, close down, and project is shut. The project is shut is the last development of the undertaking.

Each of the phases of the project comprise of some issues and problems that would tend to form the major issues in the integration of the final project deliverable. The project of Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health is largely dependent on the execution phase and the various issues identified in the project are,

Project Schedule

Lack of initial information: The lack of initial documentation is the primary issue of the project and it would tend to form the major issue in the development of the final project deliverable. The initial documentation is largely responsible for the development of the final project deliverable (Miller and Baker 2015). The initial documentation would require the prior information processing and analysis. The lack of initial documentation information would tend to delay the information required for project progress and might even result in forming problem for the final project deliverable.

Delay in plan approval: The approval of the plan is a crucial element for the kick off the project execution phase. The main activities of the project would be dependent on the alignment of the final project deliverable. The delay in approval of the plan would tend to form the issues in the initiation of the WLAN transfer works.

Design Issues: The design development is a major factor for the deployment of the final project development. The lack of the design integrity would tend to form the major integration of the final project deliverable (Laudon and Laudon 2016). The issues in design might also result in the formation of the system development problems. Without the integrated design of the system, the final project deliverable of WLAN would not be achieved.

Inferior Components: The various routers, switches, wires, and other components for the WLAN development would result in forming the migration efficient (Lakemond, Bengtsson, Laursen and Tell 2016). However, the inferior quality of the components would tend to form the major issues in the development of the project. The degraded quality would result in forming the major setback of the development of the WLAN network for Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health.

The project tender bid submission strategy is largely dependent on the alignment of the final project deliverable. The allowance for the bid is based on the development of the final project deliverable and the alignment of the successive bid development (Alshamrani and Bahattab 2015). The expected project bid strategy for the project of WLAN network for Wireless LAN replacement at GV Health includes Understanding of the client’s requirements, Learning from past experience, market analysis, and development of final plan. The bid strategy is made for ensuring that the project proposal tender is made in such a way that the final project deliverable is achieved. The alignment of the final project deliverable would be based on the development of the effective plan development (Hwang and Kim 2016). The bid submission strategy would be helpful for the alignment of the operations.

Project Phases

Understanding of the client’s requirements: The understanding of the client’s requirements would be helpful for the development of the final project deliverable and the alignment of the successive and improved project final operations (Eberhard and Naude 2016). The major expectations of the client in terms of requirements and final deliverable should be pre-acknowledged. The client would convey whether the main reason for migration would be cost reduction, increased efficiency of access, security, or all. It would help in achievement of the expected deliverable for the project and the client would be able to convey clearly the requirements of the final project deliverable.

Learning from past experience: The lack of previous information is the primary issue of the project and it would tend to form the major issue in the development of the final project deliverable. The learning from the past experience is largely responsible for the development of the final project deliverable (Hwang and Kim 2016). The previous information would tend to help in effective gathering of the information required for project progress and might even result in forming faster progress for the final project deliverable.

Market Analysis: The market analysis would help in making estimation of the project final deliverable. The analysis would also help in forming the improved final deliverable that would help in estimating the cost and the expenses that would be required for the final project deliverable (Schwartz, Ruiz-Nunez and Chelsky 2014). The market analysis would help in judging the final project deliverable on the basis of the scope trio constraints. The scope trio constraints include the cost, time, and quality. The WLAN network project is based on the alignment of the final project deliverable and the formation of the improved functional development.

Development of final tender plan: The final tender plan would involve the listing of the major project deliverables, all milestones, and approximate calculation of the project costs, and the utilization of the smart project deliverable (Nojoumian and Stinson 2014). The final tender document is based on the alignment of the successive plan development and the formation would be helpful for the formation of the effective project plan documentation.
