The next in my Cisco Mind Maps is the Mind Map for the Cisco Lifecycle Services. Now, this is only really applicable to those of you who work for a Cisco partner.
With the updated Cisco partner program, they have introduced the Lifecycle Services exam into each job role, for all the specializations.
I had the pleasure of sitting the Lifecycle Services exam, 646-058, for the Advanced Routing and Switching specialization last week. Happy to say I passed it, but found it quite a challenge as it is more project management based than my usual technical exams.
The Lifecycle Services are Cisco’s model for engagement with a customer right through the implementation and optimization stage. The Services Model consists of six main phases. These are:
- Prepare
- Plan
- Design
- Implement
- Operate
- Optimize
They make up the PPDIOO Model that is used throughout the Lifecycle Services Model.
Please have a look at the Mind Map and as usual, comments are welcome.
Hi,
A very complete mindmap, I find the exam very interresting, have you any hint about how to get the material for that exam? I mean a study guide or any book oriented to the prearation to the exam.
Thank you in advance
Hi,
The only material that I know of for this exam is online via the Cisco Partner Learning page. I am unaware of any books etc that cover this material.
If you are a Cisco partner you should be able to access the Partner E-Learning Connection to view the material.
Hope this helps.
