PROCESS ANALYSIS
Prepared by: [Student Name]
Organization: Northstar Community Services (fictional)
Date: August 19, 2026
Academic-use note: This is an original model built around the supplied outline. Replace bracketed details, validate all assumptions,
and align every section with the rubric displayed in your WGU assessment portal.
, Portfolio Overview
Recommendation: Approve a controlled four-week migration from aging on-premises
file servers to Microsoft SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business, beginning
with a 15-user pilot and ending only after permissions, file counts, recovery, and user
access are validated.
Scenario and Assumptions
Northstar Community Services is a fictional 75-employee, two-location nonprofit. Staff currently store
approximately 4 TB of departmental files on two aging Windows file servers. Remote staff depend on VPN
access, search is slow, duplicate files are common, and the hardware is approaching replacement. The
proposal uses Microsoft 365 Business Basic at an illustrative list price of $7 per user per month when paid
annually. Taxes, local pricing, professional services, backup requirements, and any nonprofit discounts are
excluded and must be confirmed before procurement.
Assumption Planning value Why it matters
Employees 75 licensed users Determines recurring subscription estimate
Current storage 4 TB across two servers Defines discovery and migration scope
15-user pilot, then phased
Migration approach Reduces operational and permissions risk
cutover
$11,800 Year 1
Decision requested Covers licenses plus implementation contingency
authorization ceiling
Deliverables
