Welcome to Week 1. This week, we'll explore core project evaluation methods and management structures to understand how to initiate and assess successful IT projects. We’ll dive into crafting strong business cases and conducting feasibility analysis to support informed decision-making. You’ll gain insights into Agile and Object-Oriented System Development Methodologies, including their practical applications. We'll also examine data validation techniques such as parity bits, checksums, and CRC. Rounding out the week, we'll cover essential testing methodologies and the critical processes involved in system migration, infrastructure deployment, and data conversion.

Welcome to Week 3. This week, we’ll focus on keeping critical workloads running when things go wrong. We begin with Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify vital processes and quantify risk. Next, we examine System Resiliency techniques that harden infrastructure against failure. You’ll then design a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP), selecting the right Backup types and mapping Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) targets. We’ll compare alternate recovery‑site options—cold, warm, and hot—and wrap up with end‑to‑end Disaster Recovery plan scenarios, illustrating backup, replication, and failover strategies.
