Why this course

Your team is juggling multiple spreadsheets, legacy ticketing tools, and ad-hoc email chains to track service fulfillment. Each new OSS release forces you to re-map processes, and the lack of a unified view means missed SLAs and angry customers. The finance lead is already flagging the rising cost of manual reconciliations, and any delay now threatens the quarterly performance bonus.

The current evidence pack lives in scattered SharePoint folders, with half-filled fields and outdated version numbers. When the upcoming OSS upgrade deadline hits, you scramble to assemble a compliance checklist, but auditors repeatedly ask for the same missing links, causing project stalls and extra overtime.

If the upgrade slips, the leadership team will question the value of the operations function, and you risk being sidelined in the next budgeting round. The pressure to prove a clean, repeatable service delivery process has never been higher.

What you walk away with

A complete service delivery playbook aligned to the eTOM framework.
An automated workflow that reduces manual ticket handling by 40 percent.
A ready-to-present stakeholder deck that ties service metrics to revenue.
A compliance register that satisfies audit queries in a single view.
A reusable upgrade checklist that cuts future OSS rollout effort in half.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Service Process Mapping

75 percent of telecom firms still rely on manual spreadsheets for end-to-end service mapping. This module walks through extracting current process steps from your ticketing system, aligning them to eTOM layers, and visualizing gaps. By the end you own a diagram that shows every handoff and its owner. Output: a populated process map ready for executive review.

Module 2. Workflow Automation Design

During Monday's Ops stand-up you notice the same three approval loops cause delays every sprint. This session designs a low-code automation that routes those approvals automatically, integrates with your OSS, and logs each step. The deliverable is an automation design blueprint that can be handed to the integration team.

Module 3. Metrics Alignment

What metric does the CFO ask for when the OSS upgrade is announced? This module defines the key performance indicators that tie service delivery time to revenue impact, builds a dashboard mock-up, and links each metric to the eTOM functional blocks. What you ship from this module: a KPI dashboard template populated with your baseline data.

Module 4. Compliance Register Creation

By module end a compliance register sits in your drive, listing every control, evidence source, and audit owner for the service delivery chain. The register is pre-filled with the artifacts you already have and flags missing pieces for the upcoming audit. Output: a compliance register ready for the audit committee.

Module 5. Stakeholder Presentation Pack

The head of Finance wants proof that the OSS upgrade will not erode margins. This module crafts a concise slide deck that tells the story of risk, mitigation, and expected ROI, using the process map and KPI dashboard as visual anchors. The deliverable is a polished presentation pack you can walk into the next steering committee.

Module 6. Upgrade Checklist Development

Fastest path from a messy current state to a clean upgrade is a single, reusable checklist. Here you distill the OSS migration steps, validation points, and rollback procedures into a checklist that can be reused for future releases. The deliverable is an upgrade checklist ready to distribute to the implementation team.

Module 7. Data Reconciliation Workflow

Finance sees duplicate entries across billing and service assurance systems. This session creates a data reconciliation workflow that automatically matches records, flags mismatches, and generates a daily reconciliation report. What you ship from this module: a reconciliation workflow diagram and report template.

Module 10. Performance Testing Suite

The operations director wants evidence that the new workflow can handle peak load. This module builds a performance testing suite that simulates peak traffic, measures response times, and records results against SLA targets. Output: a testing suite and results report you can present at the next performance review.

Module 11. Continuous Improvement Loop

The deliverable is a continuous improvement loop diagram with a quarterly review calendar.

Module 12. Executive Summary Dashboard

When the CFO asks for a single view of service health, this module assembles all prior artefacts into an executive dashboard that shows real-time KPI trends, risk status, and upgrade readiness. Output: an executive summary dashboard ready for board meetings.

Before and after

Before

Your current state consists of scattered Excel files, email threads, and partial tickets that never sync, leaving audit reviewers chasing missing evidence and the operations team burning overtime to patch gaps before each OSS release.

After

After the course you have a single, living process map, automated workflows, a full compliance register, and dashboards that feed leadership with real-time service health, enabling confident presentations and a repeatable upgrade cadence.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this, the next OSS rollout will arrive with no unified process view, forcing you to scramble for evidence during the audit window. The CFO will question the ops budget, and the upcoming performance review will highlight missed SLAs.

Who it is for

A Network Operations Manager who runs daily service fulfillment meetings, owns the OSS migration roadmap, and coordinates between engineering, finance, and customer support to keep the network humming without breaking SLAs.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to telecom frameworks or who only wants a vendor recommendation.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding effort.

Why $199 is the right number

For $199 you get a complete playbook and 12 focused modules, versus hiring a half-day consultant who would charge $2K-$5K, buying a generic compliance certification at $800-$2K, or spending 60+ hours building these artefacts yourself.
