QUESTION 59 OF 77

Describe the budget and impact of the largest infrastructure project you have managed.

IT infrastructure project budgets vary greatly depending on the company, the current infrastructure environment, and the nature of the requested changes. Interviewers ask this question to identify candidates who have experience managing budgets on the scale they will be responsible for if selected for the open position.

Remember to provide a brief description of the project within your response. Also, be sure to provide the numbers for the overall project budget and the portion of the budget you were responsible for in the event the project was large and managed by a team of project managers.

"I currently work for a large network and data services company. We recently expanded our data centers and worked on a project to stand up a new center in my region. The total budget for the project was 27 million. I managed the IT equipment purchases, setup, and software licensing portion which accounted for 16 million of the total budget.

The impact of the project was significant. Our organization is chasing growth by expanding the services we provide to mid-size companies who cannot afford their own data centers. The project set the stage to grow that market by 30% within the first two years and we are currently on target to meet that goal."
