A Question
What do you feel (or know) is the biggest problem of documenting IT infrastructure? 1. Maintaining infrastructure documentation 2. Creating a baseline of shared infrastructure 3. Defining change processes across teams 4. Common understanding of the value of documentation
When Do We Create or Use Documents?
Requirements specification (verification or analysis) Design or plan (proposal, specification) Construction/build (implementation or coding) Integration (build) Testing and debugging (validation) Installation / commissioning (deployment) Maintenance and operational support (in life) Post live, decommission and disposal
What Is The Top Reason To Change?
1. Manage project and operational costs 2. Improve situational awareness ? faults, assessment 3. Reduce project delivery timescales 4. Assess risks of planned change and releases 5. Regulatory / contract needs ? auditors/customers 6. Improve risk assessment and mitigation ? DR, test 7. Increase organisational and individual flexibility
? Separation of roles and centralisation of control
8. Improve security management processes
? External / Internal attacks / Avoidance / Recovery
Kerplunk ? Infrastructure Planning?
What is the change impact of removing a straw? Is it more difficult if the straws are the same colour? Are you more cautious removing multiple straws? How would you communicate to someone else which straw to pull? Try it when planner and builder have blindfolds!
