Episode 106 — Establishing a Plan of Action — Solution Planning and Notifications

Certified - CompTIA Server+ Audio Course

This episode explains how to create a detailed plan of action once the root cause of a problem is identified. We discuss outlining step-by-step remediation tasks, sequencing changes to minimize downtime, and identifying potential risks before implementation. The plan should also include a rollback procedure in case the fix causes unexpected issues. Notifying stakeholders about the planned changes ensures transparency and allows them to prepare for possible service impacts.

We then explore real-world and exam scenarios, such as planning a firmware update on a storage controller or replacing a failed switch during a maintenance window. Troubleshooting considerations include coordinating with affected teams, securing necessary approvals, and verifying that backups are current before proceeding. Mastery of action planning ensures candidates can implement solutions in a controlled, predictable manner.
