Course Overview

Most outages involving IoT smart city systems are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Systems supporting city systems fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this part of technology and systems delivery outperform teams that only plan it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for IoT smart city systems, not for observers of it. Moving the technology and systems delivery discipline from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on city systems and revise it on evidence. Participants apply IoT smart city systems to their own technical platform throughout, so the output is directly usable. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in city systems, not around theory headings. The final module sets out how progress on the wider technology and systems delivery agenda will be evidenced six months later.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Anticipate the objections that IoT smart city systems will attract internally and answer them in advance.

04

Build a concise technical standard for city systems that colleagues can follow without further explanation.

05

Document IoT smart city systems to the level a new engineer could operate it.

06

Test the organisation's response to city systems under conditions that are less than ideal.

07

Plan the migration or decommissioning of legacy components in IoT smart city systems.

Course Modules

01

IoT smart city systems: backup, recovery and continuity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The cost of IoT smart city systems and how to present it

  • Restore a backup of IoT smart city systems in a test environment and time it.
  • Prepare the summary of city systems that senior management will read.
  • Reduce the variation in how IoT smart city systems is carried out between teams.
  • Inventory third-party dependencies inside city systems and their update status.

Session 2The change to city systems that caused the last outage

  • State the availability and recovery objectives for IoT smart city systems as numbers.
  • Set out how exceptions to city systems are requested and approved.
  • Record the technical debt in IoT smart city systems and schedule repayment.
  • Set escalation thresholds for city systems that work out of hours.
02

City systems: requirements, targets and service levels

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Building the method for city systems step by step

  • Compare the cost of IoT smart city systems with the cost of its absence.
  • Review access rights on city systems and remove what is no longer needed.
  • Measure current load on IoT smart city systems and project it forward twelve months.
  • Check that records of city systems answer the questions likely to be asked.

Session 2Setting availability and recovery targets for city systems honestly

  • Run a load test on IoT smart city systems at expected peak plus a margin.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on city systems.
  • Rank the weaknesses in IoT smart city systems by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of city systems current.
03

City systems: monitoring, alerting and observability

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Running an incident on city systems calmly

  • Define the trigger that would require IoT smart city systems to be redesigned.
  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within city systems.
  • Apply change control to IoT smart city systems including emergency changes.
  • Arrange the handover of city systems so capability survives staff changes.

Session 2Sizing capacity for IoT smart city systems on measured growth

  • Assess the exit route from any cloud or vendor dependency in IoT smart city systems.
  • Confirm every release of city systems can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Draft the minimum viable technical standard for IoT smart city systems.
  • Define incident severity levels for city systems and the response each triggers.
04

City systems: capacity, performance and load

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Where city systems typically breaks, and why

  • Document the runbook for IoT smart city systems to the level a new engineer could use.
  • Name a single owner for each element of city systems.
  • Build the competence framework that supports IoT smart city systems.
  • Test the failover for city systems rather than assuming it works.

Session 2Documenting city systems so someone else can operate it

  • Benchmark the organisation's IoT smart city systems against comparable operations.
  • Review logging on city systems for coverage and retention.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in IoT smart city systems.
  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component city systems replaces.
