Course Overview
Most organisations now hold more data about infrastructure as code than they can actually act on. The distance between a working prototype of the wider digital and data-driven work agenda and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within digital and data-driven work. Participants apply infrastructure as code to their own transformation programme throughout, so the output is directly usable. It concentrates on the parts of this part of digital and data-driven work that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the digital and data-driven work discipline has actually achieved. Comparative studies of infrastructure as code across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Plans for the wider digital and data-driven work agenda often fail at the handover point between functions. The final module sets out how progress on this area of digital and data-driven work will be evidenced six months later.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Establish escalation routes for infrastructure as code that work outside normal hours.
Prepare the human side of infrastructure as code: who is retrained, who is redeployed, and when they are told.
Evaluate the bias, fairness and explainability obligations attaching to infrastructure as code.
Assess whether infrastructure as code should be built in-house, bought, or delivered through a partner.
