Course Overview
Most outages involving physical to virtual migration are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in virtual migration whether or not anyone says so. Plans for the wider technology and systems delivery agenda often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants leave with a method for physical to virtual migration, not a set of opinions about it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the technology and systems delivery discipline, not for observers of it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of virtual migration to standardise and which to leave flexible. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around physical to virtual migration reduces downstream rework. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of virtual migration is examined, not just described. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this aspect of technology and systems delivery that would make a visible difference.
