Course Overview

Availability targets for system consolidation are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. Systems supporting this strand of technology and systems delivery fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Improvement in the technology and systems delivery discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme suits teams tackling system consolidation together as readily as individuals attending alone. The most reliable predictor of sound the practice within technology and systems delivery is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of technology and systems delivery and the judgement to adapt it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about system consolidation. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the technology and systems delivery capability in their own setting. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of technology and systems delivery sustainable.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Plan capacity for system consolidation against measured growth rather than optimism.

02

Build incident response for system consolidation with defined severity and escalation.

03

Handle the trade-offs in system consolidation between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.

04

Select indicators that show whether system consolidation is improving, and reject those that only look useful.

05

Plan the migration or decommissioning of legacy components in system consolidation.

06

Design the architecture of system consolidation around its failure modes, not only its happy path.

07

Draw practical lessons from failures in system consolidation without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.

Course Modules

01

System consolidation: capacity, performance and load

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Running an incident on system consolidation calmly

  • Measure current load on system consolidation and project it forward twelve months.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of system consolidation current.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates system consolidation is under control.
  • Check that system consolidation still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.

Session 2Proving the backup of system consolidation by restoring it

  • State the availability and recovery objectives for system consolidation as numbers.
  • Define incident severity levels for system consolidation and the response each triggers.
  • Confirm that reporting on system consolidation reaches the people who can act.
  • Restore a backup of system consolidation in a test environment and time it.
02

System consolidation: security, identity and least privilege

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The hard cases in system consolidation and how to reason about them

  • Benchmark the organisation's system consolidation against comparable operations.
  • Run a load test on system consolidation at expected peak plus a margin.
  • Arrange the handover of system consolidation so capability survives staff changes.
  • Prepare the summary of system consolidation that senior management will read.

Session 2The decisions in system consolidation that cannot be delegated

  • Confirm every release of system consolidation can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component system consolidation replaces.
  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within system consolidation.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether system consolidation is improving.
03

System consolidation: documentation, support and handover

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Documenting system consolidation so someone else can operate it

  • Anticipate the objections system consolidation will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Define the trigger that would require system consolidation to be redesigned.
  • Agree the smallest change to system consolidation that would be visibly useful.
  • Configure alerting on system consolidation that reflects what users experience.

Session 2The change to system consolidation that caused the last outage

  • Set the review interval for system consolidation and who attends.
  • Define acceptance criteria for system consolidation in advance.
  • Test the failover for system consolidation rather than assuming it works.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for system consolidation.
04

System consolidation: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Dependencies and supply chain risk in system consolidation

  • Identify the single points of failure in system consolidation.
  • Set out how exceptions to system consolidation are requested and approved.
  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for system consolidation.
  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for system consolidation the team trusts.

Session 2Making system consolidation work when resources are constrained

  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in system consolidation.
  • Document the runbook for system consolidation to the level a new engineer could use.
  • Inventory third-party dependencies inside system consolidation and their update status.
  • Review access rights on system consolidation and remove what is no longer needed.
