DES Business Goals DES Process & Quality Performance Objectives
Achieve Customer Satisfaction rating (CPAR or equivalent) of Blue or Green on 90% of contracts over $5 million annual revenue or deemed to be of significant strategic value. The percentage of contracts with a Blue rating will be at least 33%.
Achieve Revenue, Profit and other financial goals
1. Achieve Cost Perf. Index = 1 0.1 (monthly)
2. Achieve Schedule Perf. Index = 1 0.1 (monthly).
3. Achieve Est-To-Complete-Variance = 1 0.1 (monthly)
4. Achieve 10% improvement in Defect Density for each life cycle phase (from previous baseline)
Objectives are monitored on a monthly basis for the projects; organizational baselines are evaluated on semi-annual basis.
2003 Goals for Performance
Business performance linked to Process and Quality Performance

Organizational and Project Quantitative Management Process Overview
DES Business Objectives
Projects improve performance by removing root causes for out-of-bound conditions.
Projects track process performance over time.
Projects select related goals & measurements for each life cycle phase.
Projects check performance against project goals and business objectives.
DES management checks org and project data against DES goals (process capability baseline).
DES management selects quality and process goals & measurements

Quantitative Management
Measurable contractual commitments:• Delivering products and services on time and under budget• Delivering quality (low-defect) products
Measurable process and quality commitments; DES developed process performance and product quality goals to tract program performance:• Cost• Schedule• Quality
Demonstrable senior management commitment• DES tracks this through its senior management operations

Goal: Critical/Urgent Defect Total Defects
5/KLOC 10/KLOC Action:
• DP Cycle #1 countermeasures are effective. Reduced targeted “checking” defects from 2.6/KLOC to 1.2/KLOC.
• DP Cycle #2 focused on defects escaping the PSP Cycle. Follow up from countermeasures show improvement in schedule and quality.
• DP Cycle #3 focused on units with highest test defects. Countermeasure approved to peer review code again prior to customer dry run testing.
• SCoVs – 6 complete, 2 in progress, 5 approved for Builds 4 & 5.
• DDt – SPC for Defect Density by test (DDt) is not useful, investigating alternate metrics, began Rayleigh Curve.
Technical Highlights: Construction Complete
• Inspection & Test - 100% of all code was peer reviewed. 100% Unit Test and Internal Integration Test complete.
• Total DDt in Unit Test - 1.39/KLOC (Goal 2)
• Total DDt Internal Integration Test - .44/KLOC (Goal 1)

Goal: 1 0.1 (0.9 - 1.10) Actual: Current CPIm Mean = .730
Action: Continue ECP plans and attempt cost impact recovery from customer as part of the DMSI schedule alignment ECP.
Technical Highlights: As expected the CPIm remains out of goal. Low number of defects allowed a positive cost variance to increase the mean by 5.7%.
Goal: 1 0.1 (0.9 - 1.10)
Actual: Current SPIm Mean = .753
Action: Continue with ECPs and Test Activities
Technical Highlights: Released CBT. Preparing Software Test Report.

S&T/ITS Program and QM Indicators
As stated in the ITS Quantitative Management PlanCategory 1: Customer Satisfaction Goal
• Deliver no known open Level 1-3 severity defects• Achieve contractual expectations as defined in the ITS SRS
and implied customer expectations as defined in the ITS SQASP
Actual• 100% known peer review and test defects have been repaired.• Customer completed performance survey. ITS was rated
“Exceptional” in all categories. Looking to receive CPARs in CLIN 2. None received to date.
Action None
Technical Highlights• Customer continues to fund contract mods to keep team
momentum and buy conversion data schedule time. Customer continues to fund T&M CLIN. Requested synchronized ITS schedule to DMSI schedule.
E Customer Satisfaction

Organizational Innovation
To provide higher quality and better services to our customers, DES:
Set aggressive goals based on past quantitative performance
Research innovations internally and externally to measurably improve our performance.
Report out monthly on performance…
An example follows…

Project Comparisons
Two projects with: • Same customer (different divisions)• Similar applications• Both Client-Server (PowerBuilder / Oracle)• Similar level of team expertise and training• Estimated to be similar size and effort (~$2 Million)

Key Process Insertion Differences
Project A: • Disciplined team design process used to create sound
developer work packets• Personal Software Process used consistently by developers
SEI developed course for software developers which provides process at an individual level for producing software components and documentation (user & technical)
• Peer Reviews conducted on the most critical 20% of the software
Project B:• We decided that this project was “too far along” to benefit from
process insertion

Positive Effect of Process Insertion
• Mature Processes & PSP led to–Project A’s Integration and Acceptance Test Costs
were 24% of Project B–Project A’s Test Duration was 46% of Project B–Project A’s delivered defect density was 29% of
Project B
• Process saved cost, reduced schedule, and improved quality

Cost, Schedule and Quality Performance JEDMICS exceeds software quality goals
(.0156 vs .06 defects/KSLOC) PERMS exceeds revenue goals by 11% AIT has 100% on-time delivery Only 2% of total defects found in
delivered SIGS product ITS is on cost and schedule (CPIm = .965
& SPIm = .985, target = 1.0 +/- .1) SIGS averages a customer satisfaction
of 98.5% over last four years

Knowledge Management and Process Management
We manage our Processes as a Community of Practice
We help our integrated teams share and put process into action
Processes underpin each “community of practice”

Conclusions
CMMI Practices have a direct and positive influence on cost, schedule, and quality performance• It helps to tie the quantitative goals and measures to customer
needs and relevant project problems
CMMI high maturity enables organizational and project agility in high priority areas• Projects can improve dramatically in 6 months or less using
defect prevention cycles of 1 week or less
The transition from SW-CMM to CMMI is not inherently difficult, costly, and time-consuming, but…• It pays to proactively improve against emerging models and
standards• It is much easier to attain the same maturity level the second
time• It is much easier to transition between models when you focus
on performance
