1.9.10 Contingency Planning¶

Rollback Triggers¶

Scenario	Trigger	Rollback Action
Controller failure	>30 min downtime	Activate DR cluster
Tunnel instability	>10% flap rate	Revert to MPLS primary
Application SLA breach	Voice MOS <3.5	Failback to MPLS

Compliance gap	Audit failure imminent	Pause migration

Business Continuity¶

Event	Recovery Time	Recovery Point	Procedure
Single WAN Edge failure	<1 minute	0	HA failover
Dual WAN Edge failure	<15 minutes	0	MPLS fallback
Controller cluster failure	<30 minutes	<5 min	DR activation

1.9.11 Summary and Recommendations¶

Risk Assessment Summary¶

Metric	Value
Total risks identified	15
Critical risks	1
High risks	4
Medium risks	8
Low risks	2
Overall risk score	47/100 (Acceptable)
Risk mitigation effectiveness	55%

Key Recommendations¶

Prioritize Training: Address skills gap before production deployment
Validate Integration: Extensive lab testing of SD-Access handoff
Implement Monitoring Early: Full observability before production
Maintain Rollback Capability: Keep MPLS circuits during parallel operation
Document Everything: Runbooks, procedures, and decision records
Engage Stakeholders: Regular communication and expectation management

Go/No-Go Risk Criteria¶

Criteria	Threshold	Current	Status
Critical risks mitigated	All	0/1	⚠️ Pending
Team training complete	80%	0%	⚠️ Pending
Lab validation passed	100%	0%	⚠️ Pending
Rollback tested	Yes	No	⚠️ Pending
Monitoring operational	Yes	No	⚠️ Pending
Stakeholder approval	Yes	No	⚠️ Pending

Project Risk Status: Ready to proceed with mitigation activities. 8-week readiness phase required before production deployment.
