Orchestration and provisioning architecture for effective service managementAlan McSweeney
Orchestration and provisioning are important for effective service management throughout the entire service lifecycle. A generalized architectural approach can yield benefits like reduced costs, faster response times, and greater flexibility. Orchestration involves automating the arrangement and coordination of systems and services, while provisioning creates, maintains, and deactivates resource objects. Together, orchestration and provisioning are key to delivering cloud and other complex services at scale.

Role Discovery and RBAC Design: A Case Study with IBM Role and Policy ModelerProlifics
IBM Pulse 2012 presentation by Alex Ivkin (Prolifics) and Grey Thrasher (IBM)
Synthesizing the business view of IT resources with the technical implementation of Role Based Access Control remains one of the toughest challenges in Identity Management today. We will walk through a real-world use case to understand how organizations can utilize the new IBM Role and Policy Modeler (RaPM) tool to discover essential business relationships and map them to IT access permissions, creating the schema for a comprehensive RBAC system. We will explain how the design criteria provided by RaPM has enabled the foundation of a comprehensive Identity and Role Lifecycle Management structure. The follow-on implementation of an RBAC system in the Identity Provisioning platform, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, will be explored, as well as how this organization is automating access privileges, simplifying internal security controls and reducing the complexity of audit and compliance enforcement.
This document discusses disaster recovery. It describes different types of disasters including natural disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes that are difficult to recover from, and man-made disasters like theft that are easier to recover from. It emphasizes the importance of data backup and restoration, and outlines disaster recovery measures organizations can take including identifying critical systems, backing up data daily including transaction logs, and having system redundancy. It also recommends technologies for disaster recovery planning like regular backups to off-site locations and data replication using SAN storage.
The document outlines a framework for business continuity management (BCM) that includes several interconnected components: event monitoring and response management, emergency response management, incident command, crisis management, business continuity planning, disaster recovery planning, and change management. It describes the process of monitoring for events, declaring emergency responses, convening crisis management teams, initiating business continuity and disaster recovery plans, recovering critical services, and returning to normal operations. The framework is meant to help organizations gradually adopt BCM and ensure an effective response to unplanned events.

The Agile Stakeholder Management Framework for Teams, Programs, and PortfoliosDrew Jemilo
Stakeholder management is one of the most important responsibilities of a Product Owner. It can also be one of the biggest land mines if you don't continuously inspect and adapt your planning and communication. How do you interact with your stakeholders based on their level of interest and the degree of influence they have over your team's success or failure? In this session, you will learn how to apply the stakeholder management framework to:
1. Identify, analyze, prioritize, and engage your stakeholders
2. Manage expectations through the continuous process of setting expectations, acting on them, reviewing them, and resetting them
3. Build your communication plan using the stakeholder mapping technique and the Net Promoter Score (NPS) to plot your sponsors, major stakeholders, minor stakeholders, and subject matter experts
4. Gain consensus with your stakeholders regarding their rights and responsibilities
5. Scale to the program and portfolio levels

IT Disaster Recovery Readiness (Maturity Assessement) Bashar Alkhatib
This document presents a maturity model to assess the readiness of an organization's IT disaster recovery program. It defines five levels of maturity for IT disaster recovery from initial/ad hoc to optimized/resilient. The model evaluates three components: strategy, implementation, and exercise/maintenance. Each component contains capabilities used to measure the organization's maturity level. The model can be used to evaluate risk, develop roadmaps, and identify areas for improvement. Results can be presented using milestone, dashboard, or per-component models to visualize the current status and guide further development of the disaster recovery program.
The document discusses Adobe's implementation of a Zero Trust Network Architecture called ZEN. ZEN leverages existing authentication, network access control, logging, and endpoint systems.

The document describes a 3D management constructor, which is a complex three-dimensional model for project management. The model is intended to serve the process of decision-making by performing distribution and control functions. It will be designed as an IT system that allows building a three-dimensional management model for projects, processes, or systems. The model represents a database of typical managerial patterns and decisions that can be filtered and structured. It allows constructing any management object by building it from standard cells containing typical management situations and decisions. The 3D nature of the model allows seeing multiple logical intersections and interdependencies between different dimensions, such as management levels, timeline stages, and management processes.
