As an IT Administrator, working with many factors can abrupt when dealing on daily basics. I coordinate services to employees and outside contractors. I have to deal with many different request and issues that can come up. I was setting up a conference room with projector, keyboard, mice, and computer. The client wanted to be able to connect to the internet. I setup a wireless internet that non employees can be able to access the internet and not the company’s network. This allowed our office to be the first spot where client can access the internet and open conference space. A risk that came up is scheduling conflict of the conference room. There will be issues on scheduling conflict and client’s needs.
To better control a real project for my company is to setup the conference prior with the clients request. A project manager conducts an assessment of what are the requirements of setup the conference room. Most important of controlling a scope creep is to be not afraid of expecting issues that can arise. The IT Administrator must be prepare and plan for anything that can pop up. The delay of equipment not working can cause a meeting not to happen on time. The risk management is an important part of a managing any project. I continue to research technology and issues that improve my connection with my client’s needs.
