To get SNA leads abd Peter on a call to discuss timeline and details for Rconfig project
Rconfig Project Plan
Project Initiation
Objective Definition: Implement rConfig for network device configuration management for SNA infrastructure
Stakeholder Identification: Identify key stakeholders, including operations Manager, Account Manager , Customer Success, Program Managers, IT Net , IT Dev
OM: Yanni
AM: Alexis
Peter : Rconfig Implementation engineer
Chase: NOC Supervisor, Will provide assistance to access equipment configurations and help oversee Rconfig rollout and administration
Planning
Requirements Gathering: Collect specific needs, such as the types of network devices to be managed, configuration backup frequency, and automation requirements.
Resource Allocation: Assign roles, including a project manager, network engineers, and system administrators.
Grey: Level four engineer: Will provide assistance to access configuration across all infrastructure of SNA
Timeline and Milestones: Set key milestones, such as installation, configuration, testing, and go-live, with clear deadlines.
Risk Management: Identify risks, such as potential integration issues or security concerns, and plan mitigation strategies.
Design
System Architecture: Design the rConfig setup, including server specifications, network architecture, and integration points with existing systems.
Interface Design: Plan the user interface layout, considering ease of use for network engineers.
Documentation: Prepare documentation outlining the rConfig architecture, workflows, and user roles.
Development
System Configuration: Install rConfig on the designated server, configure necessary dependencies, and set up the initial environment.
Customization: Customize rConfig to include necessary plugins, scripts, and templates for the specific network devices in use.
Testing: Perform unit testing, integration testing with existing systems, and user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure rConfig meets all requirements.
Implementation
Deployment: Gradually roll out rConfig in a phased approach, starting with a pilot group of network devices before full deployment.
Data Migration: If applicable, migrate existing network device configurations to rConfig for centralized management.
Training: Conduct training sessions for network engineers and administrators to ensure proficiency in using rConfig.
Go-Live: Officially transition to rConfig for managing network device configurations, with close monitoring for any issues.
Post-Implementation
Monitoring and Support: Continuously monitor rConfig’s performance and provide ongoing support to address any issues.
Evaluation: Gather feedback from users to assess the effectiveness of rConfig and identify any areas for improvement.
Optimization: Implement any necessary optimizations based on feedback and system performance to enhance efficiency.
Project Closure
Final Review: Conduct a comprehensive review of the rConfig implementation project, documenting successes and lessons learned.
Handover: Transition ownership of rConfig to the operational team, ensuring all documentation and training materials are up to date.
Sign-Off: Obtain final approval from stakeholders and formally close the Rconfig implementation project.
