Recognise early indicators that scheduled system updates is drifting away from its intended design.
Designing Safe and Scheduled System Update Protocols
A structured, applied course in scheduled system updates — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Systems supporting scheduled system updates fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Technical debt in this area of technology and systems delivery is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. Buying a tool rarely fixes the wider technology and systems delivery agenda; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The professional literature on scheduled system updates converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. They leave able to brief senior management on this strand of technology and systems delivery in terms that support a decision. The programme suits teams tackling the technology and systems delivery discipline together as readily as individuals attending alone. The programme is built to be used, and every section of scheduled system updates it covers ends in something applicable. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this strand of technology and systems delivery rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of technology and systems delivery ready to put in front of a decision maker.
