Welcome to Kestrel Bakery
Kestrel Bakery (a made-up business) has six staff, one server, two shop tills and a staff Wi-Fi. The owner has hired you as a part-time IT manager.
In this practice lesson you plan the maintenance, fill in the records and judge a device policy. It helps you get ready for your own set work, but it is not that work.
By the end of this lesson
Note
I can plan maintenance, complete a record of the devices and judge a device policy for a small business.
