Project Management
This server maintenance project I managed supports the work of University Marketing & Communications web team. The team hosts over 150 websites and helps maintain the various servers and clouds throughout. One of the websites hosted had poor infrastructure that was not sufficient to manage traffic directed to the site. The purpose of this project is to build new infrastructure so their website can handle the load of traffic and complexity of its WordPress site.
I used an iterative approach (agile) including sprint planning, backlog management and change requests management to address the following:
To build a new infrastructure, the following elements and needs were considered:
– Load balancer, applications/servers for caching and scalable infrastructure
– Site migration including: code downtime, code workflow
– Training associated with taking on new infrastructure model
– Post project updates, clean-up and maintenance until things are running smoothly
