**Session Details:** System implementations and upgrades are high-stakes projects that can significantly impact financial processes, operational efficiency, and risk posture. This one-hour session will explore the critical controls within the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) that help organizations achieve successful outcomes while mitigating risks. 🎯🛡️
We’ll cover:
• **Project Governance & Planning:** Why executive sponsorship, clear scope, and risk assessments matter. (Spoiler: It’s because your boss wants a nap.) 😴
• **Key SDLC Control Areas:** From project authorization and functional specifications to testing, data conversion, and go-live approvals. (Translation: “Let’s hope it doesn’t break.”) 🤞
• **Security & Access Management:** How to design and validate application security and segregation of duties. (AKA: “Don’t let Dave from accounting access the nuclear codes.”) 🚫🔑
• **Post-Go-Live Stability:** Hypercare controls and monitoring to ensure a smooth transition. (Translation: “Panic mode activated.”) 💥
• **Practical Insights:** Common pitfalls and leading practices for implementing robust IT and business process controls. (Translation: “We’ve seen things… terrible things.”) 😱
By the end of the session, participants will understand how to structure SDLC controls to safeguard data integrity, maintain compliance, and deliver on business objectives. 🎯✅
**Bonus:** Live Q&A session where we answer questions like:
– “Can I use my pet’s name as a password?”
– “What do I do when the system crashes during the CEO’s presentation?”
– “Is it too late to switch to paper and pencil?”
