Modern Software-Defined Digital Network Engineering

Course Overview

Boards are asking for measurable returns from software-defined network engineering, not demonstrations. The constraint on this aspect of digital and data-driven work is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this strand of digital and data-driven work hard in practice. The course gives participants a defensible structure for software-defined network engineering and the judgement to adapt it. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the digital and data-driven work discipline. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this strand of digital and data-driven work is working and when it is only appearing to. The version of software-defined network engineering described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within digital and data-driven work among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants leave with a plan for the digital and data-driven work discipline sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
