- detaro 6y agoI think their point is that "the guy for a specific task" can't exist on a team that actually is "24x7 perfectly capable".
- rorykoehler 6y agoIf your organisation has key person dependencies that’s a problem in itself.
- hmottestad 6y agoNot all organizations can afford to double up in everything.
- jstanley 6y agoThat's fine, but that means you don't have a perfectly capable 24/7 tech team.
- rorykoehler 6y agoYes it does. 24/7 means all the time for any reasonable given scenario. If someone taking leave means you can’t fulfil a function properly then you’re not 24/7 even if you are perfectly capable.
- jstanley 6y agoExactly.
- Xylakant 6y agoIf you cannot afford to double something mission critical up then you at least should have a backup plan what to do in case something critical happens while that one person is unavailable. If you cannot come up with a plan, consider if you should be running this.
- sofixa 6y agoSince when are licenses mission critical? ( OP said the update is only available via the licensing portal)
- rorykoehler 6y agoIf your 3rd party license expires and takes down your whole system then it is mission critical.
- detaro 6y agoSince you need the licensing portal for critical updates at the latest.
- everdrive 6y agoAgreed, but I’m curious how often you see how often this actually works out as it should.
- strken 6y agoPretty sure the poster is talking about having one single point of failure for all license acquisition in the first place, not about firing the single point of failure.
