Software Process Improvement
PROCESS AND PRODUCT QUALITY ASSURANCE
Do your project teams know how to gain early visibility of problems when building their software solutions? Problems may become visible late in the life cycle after a significant investment of resources has been made into building the product. With a structured approach for project reviews, projects can be assessed for being on track with the appropriate level of quality. This assessment reduces rework thereby saving time and money.
Process and Product Quality Assurance provides your organization with objective insight into processes and work products. Reviews of project assets at designated points throughout the project life cycle provide check points to early detection of problems. Review results are formally documented and issues are brought forth for resolution. Monitoring of issues ensures appropriate visibility and decision making to ensure quality.
Successful support of Process and Product Quality Assurance includes:
- A strategy and plan for reviewing products and projects and helping the organization achieve the quality goals.
- A subject matter expert that is qualified to lead and train on Process and Product Quality programs.
- An internal Process Quality Assurance function to develop and maintain the process and product quality assurance infrastructure.
- Training to ensure resources have the knowledge to build quality into their deliverables.
- Communication of process effectiveness and lessons learned.
Process and Product Quality Assurance benefits include:
- Improved visibility into organizational adoption and process efficiency and effectiveness.
- Improved product quality.
- Decreased product costs and cycle times.
- Improved customer satisfaction.
