Quality Definition

• Error-free

• Meet requirement

• Nothing more or less than the perception the customer has of you, your products, and your

services

• Value products and/or services delivered

• At the right time

Quality is a journey, not a destination.

Introduction to CMMI

CMMI:

Capability Maturity Model Integration by SEI (Software Engineering Institute)

Capability

the ability to do something

Maturity

the condition of growing

Model

framework or direction to do something repeatedly

Integration

combining things together

“A framework that aid an

organization in improving processes

and its abilities to develop, acquire,

and maintain its products and

services”

5 Whys • 5 Why’s can be used to investigate a specific failure to find a problems real root cause.

Tips:

• Keep asking until get the root cause

• If that didn’t happen, would the problem go away?

30

http://www.educational-business-articles.com/5-whys.html

Fishbone diagram

• "Cause-and-Effect Diagram" or "Ishikawa Diagram"

• Kaoru Ishikawa – 1960s

• A graphical method

• Finding the root causes of an effect (-/+).

Example

32

5 Whys / Fishbone Workshop • Project delay • Deliver project on time but have many post release defects reported. • Deliver project on time, test 100% coverage but customers do not want

the product.

Steps: 1. Define the Effect 2. Choose Categories 3. Brainstorm Possible Causes 4. Ask Why? to find the root causes 5. Investigate

Validation Process (VAL)

Requirement

Select product to

be validated

Prepare for

validation e.g. environment,

invitation, etc

Analyze validation

result Validate

Validation reports

Validation issues

Enchantment request

34

There are many validation methods.

Examples:

• Sprint Review

• Demo

• Pilot

• Test (e.g. EAP, Alpha)

• Simulation

35

Anything that use time, effort, space, or

money without adding customer value.

36

Software Development Waste • Partially done work

• Extra features

• Re-learning

• Hand-offs

• Delays

• Task Switching

• Defects

Note: there are some necessary waste e.g. process, learning

7 waste

Value Stream Mapping (VSM)

• Used to analyze and design the flow

• Used in Lean environments

• Toyota

The six steps are:

• Identify the actions taken

• Specify the calendar time over the actions

• Specify actual work was taking place and waiting time

• Specify repeat work and time

• Total up the average time working

(min)

• Actual time = 2+5+1+5+2+5 = 20 minutes

• Total time = 10+20+30+120+30+90 = 300 minutes

• Process efficiency = 20/300 = 6.67%

• Then you can investigate which one is waste that you can eliminate.
