Practical Support for Lean Six Sigma Software Process Definition: Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards [Multiple-component retail product, part(s) enclosed]

This book is geared for managers and engineers who are Lean Six Sigma novices working in organizations adept at software engineering but in need of processes, internal plans, and procedures that bring complex projects to the finish line efficiently. The need may arise from external motivations (such as a Department of Defense contract requirement) or internal motivations--such as the goals of enhanced profitability, reduced costs, and improved delivery times. Presenting an approach driven by IEEE standards, coverage includes an overview of Lean Six Sigma methodologies, detailed organizational policy examples, a set of document templates, and examples of materials that support process improvement activities and organizational delineation. The three authors all have many years of experience in the field and are affiliated, respectively, with MITRE (a not-for-profit organization), Northrop Grumman, and Lucent Technologies.
