IntroductionCourse Outline

This foundation will be especially beneficial to them. The course builds on this foundation by covering SOA governance.
The course offers practical knowledge of how to actually implement IT and SOA governance in an organization. We have designed the course in such a way that the students will be able to get started with instituting a governance practice from scratch.

Concepts in this workshop are re-enforced through a combination of group discussion and hands-on exercises using the Mule Galaxy governance platform.

Topics

  
 
  • Mule Galaxy SOA governance features and capabilities
  • How to implement IT governance
  • Governance models
  • New management challenges brought about by SOA
  • How to implement SOA governance
  • Funding models for SOA initiatives
  • Establishing an SOA Center of Excellence (COE)
  • SOA governance by policy
  
 
What You Will Learn  
 

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

  • Identify Governance best practices
  • Understand Mule Galaxy’s governance capabilities
  • Define and implement a governance strategy which incorporates Mule Galaxy
  • Understand the need for governance and how many aspects of the business (such as sales and finance) are already strictly governed.
  • Learn the IT practices that need to be governed (such as change management and availability).
  • Learn the SOA practices that need to be governed (such as interoperability and architecture dispute resolution).
  • Measure key metrics and make decisions based on them (that will lead to continuous improvement).
  • Institute a well documented governance model within the organizations.
  • On a day to day basis, enforce compliance with the model, gather key metrics and change IT practices based on the metrics.

This course is for Web Server administrators who need to be able to install, configure and run Apache Tomcat Web Server.

  
 
Prerequisites  
 

Basic project management and/or team leadership skills are recommended.  Familiarity with Mule Galaxy is helpful, but not required.
