Course Overview

Technical debt in technology asset life cycle is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. Most outages involving life cycle are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Participants leave with a method for the practice within technology and systems delivery, not a set of opinions about it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of technology asset life cycle is examined, not just described. Improvement in the wider technology and systems delivery agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants who influence life cycle without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Organisations that document technology asset life cycle properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. They leave able to brief senior management on life cycle in terms that support a decision. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of technology and systems delivery ready to put in front of a decision maker.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Control technical debt in technology asset life cycle deliberately rather than by neglect.

02

Secure the software supply chain and dependencies within life cycle.

03

Apply a repeatable review cycle to technology asset life cycle and act on what it produces.

04

Plan the migration or decommissioning of legacy components in life cycle.

05

Build a concise technical standard for technology asset life cycle that colleagues can follow without further explanation.

06

Build the deployment pipeline for life cycle so releases are routine rather than events.

07

Sequence improvements to technology asset life cycle so that each step makes the next one easier.

Course Modules

01

Technology asset life cycle: documentation, support and handover

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Monitoring technology asset life cycle from the user's point of view

  • Review access rights on technology asset life cycle and remove what is no longer needed.
  • Set delivery and reliability indicators for life cycle the team trusts.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on technology asset life cycle.
  • Identify the single points of failure in life cycle.

Session 2Escalation and decision rights in life cycle

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for technology asset life cycle.
  • Confirm every release of life cycle can be rolled back within a defined time.
  • Set the review interval for technology asset life cycle and who attends.
  • Document the runbook for life cycle to the level a new engineer could use.
02

Life cycle: incident response and severity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reading the current state of life cycle honestly

  • Apply change control to technology asset life cycle including emergency changes.
  • Plan the decommissioning of the legacy component life cycle replaces.
  • Configure alerting on technology asset life cycle that reflects what users experience.
  • Test the failover for life cycle rather than assuming it works.

Session 2Least privilege in life cycle without blocking the work

  • Identify single points of dependency in technology asset life cycle and reduce them.
  • Record the technical debt in life cycle and schedule repayment.
  • Confirm data retention and deletion rules applied within technology asset life cycle.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when life cycle underperforms.
03

Life cycle: requirements, targets and service levels

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making releases of life cycle routine instead of risky

  • State the availability and recovery objectives for technology asset life cycle as numbers.
  • Define incident severity levels for life cycle and the response each triggers.
  • Compare the cost of technology asset life cycle with the cost of its absence.
  • Test the procedure for life cycle against a realistic scenario.

Session 2Building the method for technology asset life cycle step by step

  • Reduce the variation in how technology asset life cycle is carried out between teams.
  • Confirm the support model and escalation path for life cycle.
  • Set out how exceptions to technology asset life cycle are requested and approved.
  • Close out actions on life cycle rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
04

Life cycle: backup, recovery and continuity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Designing life cycle around how it will fail

  • Anticipate the objections technology asset life cycle will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Review logging on life cycle for coverage and retention.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of technology asset life cycle current.
  • Assess the exit route from any cloud or vendor dependency in life cycle.

Session 2Proving the backup of life cycle by restoring it

  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in technology asset life cycle.
  • Establish the boundary of life cycle and record what sits outside it.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to technology asset life cycle.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains life cycle to those affected.
