What software projects aren't

Software isn't made following mass production models(Incidentally, this is the software mass production model : )

What software projects are

How they start

The Endurance in full sail

How they proceed

Endurance trapped in Antarctic pack ice

How they end(more than often)

Endurance final sinking

How (heroic)PMs and teamsrecoverfrom disasters

“For scientific discovery, give me Scott;for speed and efficiency of travel, give me Amundsen;but when you are in a hopeless situation,when you are seeing no way out,get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton”

Raymond Edward PriestleyBritish geologist and early Anctartic explorer

CMMi, level 1

Very good for anctartic expeditions, not so good for software projects

Why do Software Companies adopt quality models ?

Because we believein Quality !

Mmmmhhh.

Because we wantto delight ourCustomers ?

Mmmmaybe.

Because marketand regulationsimpose it...

So What ?

System Quality Models

Standards

Easy System for the Governance of

Quality● the project metamodel :

– abstract representation of a project ;

– Metamodel management consolle;

– Connectors to the tools.● XWiki to manage to Quality Plan (no more proprietary formats and emails to share it…)

and corporate quality model

● A shared infrastructure of tools supporting Management & Operations (PMs and developers, all together in the same trench)

● A set of best practices supported by tools (e.g. : RSKM with Jira)

● Dashboards to gain control (Spago4Q & Talend)

EasySGQ

Quality arises naturally

The Compass● Each project is described by a (quality) metamodel of

information :

– Management

– Operations● Information classified in categories and fields

● Each field represents a specific element (a check, a todo, etc.)

● Metamodel exposed as a datasource, set of web services, ...

Fields

Categories

- Configuration Management-Development-Contract- Environments.

Specific aspects within a category :-test process-risk management- versioning ...

The What and the How Much – the project meta-model

Category

Field

Why a meta-model ?● Abstraction on quality models● Easily extensible● Unified view on management and operations
