Plan capacity for internal technical control assessment against measured growth rather than optimism.
Designing Criteria to Assess the Effectiveness of Internal Technical Controls
Move internal technical control assessment from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Technical debt in internal technical control assessment is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. The documentation for control assessment is accurate only until the next release. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the technology and systems delivery discipline in an order their organisation can absorb. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a technical standard for internal technical control assessment as they go. It concentrates on the parts of the wider technology and systems delivery agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Applied research in technology and systems delivery consistently shows that early structure around control assessment reduces downstream rework. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for internal technical control assessment, not for observers of it. Moving control assessment from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme closes with an action plan for the technology and systems delivery capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Build the deployment pipeline for internal technical control assessment so releases are routine rather than events.
Align control assessment with the wider objectives of the technical platform rather than optimising it in isolation.
Verify that improvements to internal technical control assessment have held six months after they were introduced.

Control assessment: requirements, targets and service levels
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Where control assessment typically breaks, and why
