The final step in developing the Network Improvement Plan is to  address the steps required to monitor the performance of the network and ensure that the system maintains the desired performance.

The Network  Monitoring section should discuss the performance metrics that will be  important to track and how this information will be gathered, analyzed,  and stored.

You will also further refine the plan to produce the final  draft version for the project. Updates may be based on peer and  instructor feedback.

The project deliverables for this Week are as follows: 

• Update the Network Improvement Plan document title page with the new date.  
• Update the previously completed sections based on the instructor's feedback.  
• Network Monitoring 
  • Identify the performance metrics that will be measured for the system.  
  • Discuss the collection process for the metrics and the tools that will be used.  
  • Document the analysis process that will help determine if there  are performance problems occurring or about to occur and the steps that  will be taken if a problem is identified. 
• Network Pro Prep Toolkit 
  • Take or review the following Network Pro lab lessons:  
    • 12.1.4: Network Documentation  
    • 15.8: Network Management with SNMP  
    • 15.3: Remote Management  
    • 15.6: Monitoring  
    • 16.1: Optimization 
  • For each completed lesson, include a screenshot of the completed lab and exam as applicable. 

The project deliverables for the final Key Assignment are as follows:

• Network Improvement Plan final version 
  • Review the entire document for any changes and improvements that you would like to make.  
  • Ensure that this final version of the document is sufficiently  detailed to allow the systems department to plan for necessary  improvements.
