Weekly Progress Update
Week 1: Project Planning
The table compares the originally planned Week 1 tasks with the work actually completed. All five required Project Planning deliverables were completed. No required Week 1 deliverable was postponed.
| Originally Planned Task | Actual Work Completed | Progress Against Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Finalize and publish the project proposal. | Revised the proposal and appendices, updated the course deadlines, documented the Azure Virtual Desktop environment, and prepared the browser-viewable PDF. | Completed as planned |
| Create and publish a stakeholder map. | Created the stakeholder map in Figma and published the interactive website. | Completed as planned |
| Define the project scope and expected outcomes. | Documented included work, exclusions, outcomes, dependencies, constraints, acceptance criteria, and the completion boundary. | Completed as planned |
| Create the project timeline and list every weekly update. | Converted the detailed plan into calendar-week records with planned work, actual progress, evidence, schedule adjustments, and next actions. | Completed as planned |
| Finalize the project success measurements. | Defined decision-quality, timing, participant-experience, technical-readiness, and research-execution measures. | Completed as planned |
| Publish Week 1 evidence on the landing page. | Rebuilt the landing page with PDFs, the Figma stakeholder map, availability colors, weekly progress reporting, responsive formatting, and separate source files. | Completed with presentation adjustments |
| Establish the controlled virtual study environment. | Configured and verified the Windows 11 Azure Virtual Desktop session host with 2 vCPUs, 8 GiB memory, Microsoft Entra join, private networking, and healthy host-pool registration. Removed abandoned Bastion resources. | Completed as planned |
Postponed work:
No required Week 1 Project Planning deliverable was postponed. Exact T2 and T3 thresholds, delayed-submission boundaries, memory-allocation limits, and recovery criteria remain scheduled for prototype calibration because those values require repeated testing in the completed memory-stress environment.
