Let us get down to business

Enough of the philosophy... let us get to real business.

User acceptance criteria some time called product specifications is the staring point of the quality control process.

After analysis of the user acceptance criteria configuration management components are defined to manage version control to ensure that quality passed product is delivered. Depend on the production process the requirements are broken down to ensure that all basic elements are meeting required quality criteria which will eventually contribute to the end product committed to the customer.

By accepting to deliver the defined product the supplier commits to follow a zero defect policy.

The zero defect policy manageed by various industry standard techniques. These techniques put great demand on the version control and defect management tools . Without trained quality management professionals this process is incomplete.

One process which is important is the requirement analysis and so far did not see any tool to manage is the verification of the requirement analysis with product specification. This is intense process driven and managed by people and it is the weakest link in the complete process of the product delivery.

It has been observed that these meetings many time become political battle grounds and also offers good insight in to the academic mind set of the business minded professionals. Academic cleverness is demonstrated by interpretation of the word or may of the sentence. This also some time gives a experience of the mine field(of course it is political ) if the route is not planned carefully then expected profit may disappear in the thin air.

Now the weak link in the management of Zero defect is known so what is thought share it.
