MODELS FOR PROCESS IMPLEMENTATION AND CHANGE

What are the models for process implementation and change?


Two general models that have emerged for driving process implementation and change are
1.  Quality Improvement Paradigm (QIP) Model
2.  Initiating-Diagnosing-Establishing-Acting-Learning (IDEAL) Model.
These two models are compared and evaluation of process implementation and change
outcomes can be qualitative or quantitative.

Explain QIP Model?


Introduction: -
Evolved from cooperative effort between NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and University
of Maryland Department of computer science.
This effort is called as Software Engineering laboratory (SEL) formed in 1976 with the goal of
reducing
1.Defect rate
2.Cost
 3.Development cycle time of software

QIP Cycle broken into two closed loop cycles:


1.  The organizational Cycle: provides feedback to the organization after the completion of
the project.
Purpose: To analyze the concordance and discrepancy of the collected data against previous
experiences and models. This helps to increase the understanding of experience, capture
some of that experience and to accumulate reusable experience.
2.  The Project cycle: provides feedback to the project during the execution phase in order
to
 prevent and solve problems
 Monitor and support the project
  To realign chosen processes with defined goals
Organizational Cycle: -
It represents how organization learns.
 Divided into Six phases
1.  Characterize and Understand
2.  Set goals
3.  Develop Project Plan (Choose Processes, methods, techniques and tools)
4.  Execute the processes
5.  Analyze the results
6.  Package and store Experience

Characterize and Understand


 Starting phase for the cycle
 AIM: To describe and comprehend the current project and its environment.
 The Characterization builds the models for various factors (people, problems,
processes, products, resources etc ) and studies the interactions between these to
increase understanding of the context where the improvement should be carried
out.

Explain IDEAL Model?


The IDEAL model is named for the five phases an organization runs through in performing a
change initiative:
 Initiating
 Diagnosing
 Establishing
 Acting and
 Learning
The Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie melon University has published the IDEAL
model as an organizational improvement model for the CMMI product suite. It is Process
improvement and defect reduction methodology.
Initiating
 Lay the groundwork for a successful improvement effort: Typically this phase is the
direct response of some stimulus to change the current process.
 In return to this stimulus
1.  The appropriate sponsorships are established
2.  The appropriate resources are allocated.

Diagnosing
Determine where you are relative to where you want to be:
In this phase a kind of analysis is performed
1.  To baseline the current practices and
2.  To probe potential improvement opportunities
Establishing
Plan the specifics of how you will reach objectives:
In the Establishing phase.
1.  Recommendations of the analysis are prioritized
2.  Change implementation teams are established
3.  Plans are developed to conduct the activities
Acting & Learning
 Acting - Do the work according to the plan:
  In this phase, the planned activities are implemented.
 Learning - Learn from the Experience and improve the ability to adapt new
improvements in future
 During the learning phase lessons are collected that are then be applied to
subsequent rounds of the IDEAL change cycle.
