questions Q1. what, in your opinion, are the first THREE things a new NOC should learn about or put in place to become operational? Q2. how long has your NOC / Operations Centre / Service Desk been in operation?
some caveats • freeform text responses • subjective bias – respondent in replying – mine - in interpreting key points • small sample size – < 10 respondents • totally unscientific
first 3-items 1. procedure 2. incident management 3. monitoring

what does it mean? • procedure(s) – do NOCs have procedures WHEN they start? – what about standards? • incident management – including good supportive toolset • monitoring
anomalies? • customisation – jumped based on mature NREN suggesting it – hindsight? – what do new NOCs think? • communication – lower than expected on results – assumed?
thoughts? what do you think?
