Control technical debt in corporate system integration standards deliberately rather than by neglect.
Designing Integration Standards Between Different Corporate Systems
A senior-level treatment of corporate system integration standards, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Most outages involving corporate system integration standards are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Systems supporting integration standards fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this aspect of technology and systems delivery before they become incidents. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for corporate system integration standards. The difficulty is not agreeing that the technology and systems delivery discipline matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of integration standards rather than to abstract argument. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place corporate system integration standards among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme takes participants through integration standards end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within technology and systems delivery that each participant writes for their own organisation.
