Andis PMT Manifest

Problem statement

• No processes are fastest in execution but produce random quality
• Too many processes are slow in execution and produce suboptimal quality

Solution

• Risk mitigation is the driver for designing processes; only a high risk justifies an expensive process

• Human decisions over Tools:

 If a human wants to make a change, a tool may request a rationale and it may complain, but a tool may not stop her/him.

• Constantly improve processes:

 If time, money and motivation spend on a process do not mitigate a severe risk, reconsider

• Accountabilities must be clear: An accountable person can weight cost, schedule, product-quality, process-compliance and decide which one to drop.
