....on Managing the Software Process by Watts S. Humphrey (Humphrey, 1989) and The Capability Maturity Model by Mark Paulk et al. Paulk, 1995b) CMM is based on principles found in Total Quality Management (TQM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) as described by, e.g. W. Edwards Deming (Deming, 1982) As such, the goal of the CMM is to satisfy the customer by achieving a predictable development process. The process is here defined as the set of activities, methods, practices and transformations that people employ to develop and maintain software and the associated products (Paulk, 1995b) ....

....5.3.2. 5 Statistical Process Control (SPC) Statistical Process Control (SPC) refers to various statistical techniques and charts used to monitor product development (Gillies, 1992) The statistical techniques have mostly been developed and applied in traditional manufacturing based disciplines (Deming, 1982) but have also been used in the development of software (Burr, 1996; Kan, 1995) The control chart is one of the most important techniques of SPC (Kan, 1995) Control charts are used to display the capability of the process, which is hard to define for a software development process. In ....

....and experience bases are now using such electronic media. We should, however, emphasize that such technological remedies are only a means to reach a goal. In all quality and improvement work, the ultimate success criterion is satisfied customers in the spirit of Total Quality Management (TQM) [15] or ISO 9001 [28] Some definitions: Within the context of this study, we define forrealization as written rules, procedures, and instructions. Explicit knowledge is formalized knowledge, e.g. as process models or guidelines. Tacit knowledge is the operational skills that practitioners possess, ....

....mostly SMEs. More than 20 SPI pilot projects were run in these companies. A follow up project called PROFIT is now carried out in 2000 2002. The main result of the SPIQ project was a pragmatic method handbook [16] with the following components: A dual, top down bottom up approach, using TQM [15] and Quality Improvement Paradigm [7] ideas. An adapted process for ESSI type [19] Process Improvement Experiments (PIEs) The Goal Question Metric (GQM) method [8] and e.g. GQM feedback sessions. The Experience Factory concept [7] to refine and disseminate project experiences. An ....

On the other hand, there is: increased use of web based project handbooks, a growing use of distributed technologies, a growing process awareness. 2.2 Some Experiences with PMLs and PSEEs PML experiences: Flow formalisms OK for ....

....errors in stored data, IS professionals may not recognize, and thus solve, the most critical DQ problems in organizations. In contrast to this intrinsic view, it is well accepted in the quality literature that quality cannot be assessed independent of consumers who choose and use products [4]. Similarly, the quality of data cannot be assessed independent of the people who use data data consumers. Data consumers assessments of DQ are increasingly important because consumers now have more choices and control over their computing environment and the data they use. To solve ....

A pragmatical method handbook in Norwegian has been written [11] emphasizing a top down bottom up approach using TQM [9] and QIP [4] ideas, an adapted ESSI process [12] to run SPI pilot projects, the Goal Question Metrics (GQM) method [3] the Experience Factory (EF) concept [4] and an incremental approach relying on action research [20] In much of this, use of an EF SEB is suggested , but underlining the need ....

....cost control, and improved communication during project execution. The AMI approach leads to a goal driven approach of which attribute to measure. This goal driven approach is based on the Goal Question Metric approach [4] which in turn has much in common with Deming s quality improvement cycle [8]. However, AMI does not provide the support needed to identify and gather relevant project data either. In particular, AMI is aimed at running projects in detail. The problems described above are focused at a higher level of abstraction. The conclusion can be postulated that literature and IS ....

....The accuracy of your predictions depends on a consistent process. Consistent processes are the subject of industrial quality control, especially the work of Shewhart, Deming, Juran, and others. We in software can learn much from them, so long as we re careful not to draw unthinking analogies. [Deming82] is often cited, but the style is somewhat telegraphic. Aguayo91] has been recommended to one of us (Marick) who first learned about statistical quality control from a draft of [Devor91] The Software Engineering Institute s Capability Maturity Model can be thought of as an adaptation of modern ....

As shown in Table 1 2, it defines four steps for a general improvement process [Deming 82] Software is generally more complex. Software changes appear relatively easy to make. Many late discovered hardware problems are addressed through software changes. Because of its low reproduction cost, software does not have the natural discipline of release to manufacturing.

....and testing mechanisms as a mainline quality assurance technique. In manufacturing processes, the inspection based quality assurance mechanisms have been found inefficient in producing high quality, and the general direction is to build quality in the product by continuous process improvement [Deming90]. The developers of new software process models are trying to find ways to enhance teamwork and communication, and accommodate activities such as prototyping, reuse, and automatic coding as part of the process. The spiral meta model for software process proposed by Boehm [Boehm88] Fig. 1, is a ....

....In late waterfall (downstream) most of the decisions tend to be highly localised to just trying to solve the particular problem and its ripple effects for a local minimum of schedule effort. Localisation is caused by early task allocation to working groups or individual software engineers. [Deming90] discusses in details the problem of barriers between areas, and local vs. global optimisation. The spiral model decision making has following characteristics: ffl Planning (at all levels) is carried out using the standard planning sequence: determine objectives, alternatives, constraints, ....

Deming, who only became famous at age 80, offered direction in the transformation of the static US management style in his Out of the Crisis [2]. In it he detailed his Fourteen Points, the Seven Deadly Diseases and Obstacles, as well as the essentials of Statistical Quality Control [listed in Part III] The Industrial Revolution [Wave 2] changed the society of the day; there is ample evidence that U.

If the Deming total management system is considered as a complete map of the continual improvement journey toward quality, the Baldrige award provides a highly detailed map of the place where you are at this moment, quality wise but it cannot guide you even one step farther.
