What needed to be solved
Modernize critical switching infrastructure while protecting business continuity for a 500+ user enterprise environment.
How I created delivery control
Owned the integrated plan, maintenance-window governance, RAID management, stakeholder readiness, vendor coordination, change approvals, cutover checkpoints, and rollback readiness.
- Established scope, success criteria, dependencies, and accountable owners.
- Sequenced three controlled change windows with formal entry and exit gates.
- Maintained RAID, executive reporting, communications, and rollback readiness.
- Coordinated technical validation, business readiness, and post-cutover stabilization.
Business and delivery impact
Six Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches were replaced with Catalyst 9407 platforms across three controlled windows with zero unplanned downtime.
