Operations, training and governance
Organised operations, controlled changes and teams that know how to run the systems.
The need
Delivering a system is the beginning, not the end. Without organised operations, training and change control, quality slips and knowledge ends up concentrated in a few people.
Intended outcome
Operations with agreed service levels, trained teams, controlled changes and evidence available for audit.
Scope
- Support and monitoring with service levels defined in the contract for each service.
- Operations teams: sizing, training and coaching.
- Training for users and administrators with reusable materials and assessment.
- Governance: change control, risk management, evidence records and audit support.
- Coordinating the reversibility deliverables of all contracted services.
Deliverables
- An operating model: roles, hours and escalation.
- Regular service reports.
- A training plan and materials, with attendance and assessment records.
- Change and evidence records.
- A handover plan and a handover record.
Deployment options
Operations run by IP World, shared with the client's team or handed over to it during the contract, according to the agreed model.
Limits and dependencies
- Support commitments published for connectivity services do not automatically apply to other services; each service has its own agreement.
- Training prepares teams; it does not replace supervised experience on the job.
Continuity and exit
- Data and export formats
- Incident, change and service-level records in open formats.
- Documentation
- Up-to-date operations manual and procedures.
- Configurations
- Configurations of the monitoring and ticketing tools.
- Responsibilities
- A roles matrix for before, during and after the transition.
- Licences and contracts
- Transfer and regularisation of the licences for operations tools; terms of use of the training materials.
- Knowledge transfer
- A period of supervised operation, with the incoming team doing the work and IP World in support.
