Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in technology landscape simplification whether or not anyone says so. Availability targets for this aspect of technology and systems delivery are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. The programme takes participants through this strand of technology and systems delivery end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in technology landscape simplification before they become incidents. A common pattern is strong design of this part of technology and systems delivery paired with weak follow-through. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this area of technology and systems delivery is examined from more than one functional angle. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a technical standard for technology landscape simplification as they go. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the technology and systems delivery discipline is rarely technical. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of technology and systems delivery rather than a set of notes.
Expected Learning Outcomes
