Hi, Thanks for answering PPQA and CM questions.Currently, I am stuck up in M&A process. In discussion with one of my colleagues , we were trying to find...
Vikas, (1) If your current measurement , including measures, derived measures, and indicators do not map to organization goals, then you have problems with the...
Ed, It's funny how such terms as "metric," "measure," and "indicator" are used or defined differently by different groups. At TeraQuest, we used the term...
Hi - although I agree that measurements need to be aligned with organization goals because it doesn't make sense to do things that don't have any relationship...
Pat, What I was trying to do was achieve some consistency in terminology - I do love to tilt windmills. I was somewhat incorrectly using a set of definitions...
On TeraQuest and indicators: Actually, Beth Layman and Joyce Statz were fundamental in the Practical System and Software Measurement model, resulting in the...
OOPS - I let my L4 hat override the L2 M&A requirement - my oversight - thanks Heather At L2 the information needs may indeed be project rather than...
Jorge, The reason that "metric" was a no-no term in the latter days of TeraQuest, was, in the end, they preferred the term, "Borland" over TeraQuest "METRICs"!...
Heather,  Thanks for such a detailed explaination.  Infactt, I am curious to know small or few number of base measures that may lead to technical ,...
Hi Vikas, Please re-read the detailed explanation. Knowing a "small or few number of base measures" isn't where you need to start. FIRST you need to figure...
Sushma To answer this it would help if we knew 1) what Process Area and goal 2) why you need an alternate practice - what is your development process and what...
which goal are you trying to meet? One example would be the meet REQM SG1 - you might not have a requirements tracability matrix itself but you may be tracing...
Vikas, I would also recommend that you go back and look at your objectives and how you define them. This may make better sense to you and you may have an...
Dear All, Please guide me in terms of definition of schedule slippage and schedule variance. What is the difference between two measures. For schedule variance...
Sushma, Well... Actually, the practice doesn't SAY that you are expected to have a requirements traceability matrix, although that is certainly a common...
Sushma, If you can give us the process area and the specific practice for which you are trying to achieve alternate practice, it will be great. Because to me,...
Vikas, In some organizations, <Schedule Variance> and <Schedule Slippage> are synonymous - and they would probably gravitate toward one of the terms -...
Thanks Rob L, That was really helpful. But if my business goal is improve project management , then how do i arrive at the quantified measurmenet objective.I...
Dear Vikas, I don’t see any major difference between these two terms. You might consider slippage as number of days late. But I think that variance is a...
Vikas, Again- think about what "improve project management" means. WHY do you want to "improve project management?" Is there something that doesn't work well...
Vikas This goes back to the objectives to indicators to measures sequence I mentioned earlier - you must decompose the objectives into a tangible, measurable...
Vikas, If "improve project management" is the goal, then consider: 1. How many risks actually matured into major project issues? 2. How many major project...
Hi Karima, Â You can show any evidence like user manual, online help, end user training material etc based on the requirement and no need to produced...
Dear Hassan, I am sorry, but this is something you will have to develop for yourself or hire a consultant to help you develop if you don't have the background....
Henry, I used to have a configuration audit checklist but I can't remember where I put it. It was at version 1.0, and I think I lost it when the NEW version...
I've lost mine 10x and have to create a new one every time! Jeff Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: "Patrick OToole" <PACT.otoole@...> ...
Thanks for the laugh Pat Henry Henry Schneider President/Senior Principal Consultant http://www.linkedin.com/img/signature/bg_bluegel_385x42.jpg Work:...
Hi Hassan, Both the Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) and Functional Configuration Audit (FCA) might serve your needs. You should be able to find links to...
