Key Points

1. from concept and architecture to delivery, engineering is the difference
2. there are core engineering themes that lead to better software solutions
3. architecture is the plans for "your house". engineering is what you are living in
4. "like food, software has no value unless it's consumed" Jim

• ensures continuous improvement in operational performance across the organization unit and outside parties
   

• background at BWC West - 1984
  before LSS - Six Sigma existed, in 1984 BWC West, defined the CIP process
• the ERP implementation team had designed many business process improvements while implementing MANMAN ERP
• after the system was running successfully in production, the team of mid-level operations staff continued to meet every 2 weeks to focus on the next items they could improve as a business or operations priority based on their own assessments of impact, value, risk as well as top management goals
• when significant funding or business approvals were required for a change, they submitted the business decision to senior management
• the business results from the BWC West CIP were clear and we took that process and starting using it in other business units
  
  much later came the branding of CIP with Six Sigma and LSS
• LSS can reduce your costs and help you retain and even gain more customers. LSS prescribes an improvement process known as DMAIC (Define—Measure—Analyze—Improve—Control).retain and even gain more customers. LSS prescribes an improvement process known as DMAIC (Define—Measure—Analyze—Improve—Control).  For new processes - see DMADV ( Define - Measure - Analyze - Design - Verify ) – see POT, POC, POV

• PDCA is another approach to CIP
• PDCA refers to a repetitive model that includes four stages – Plan, Do, Check, and Act. It is used to achieve continuous improvement in business process management. The concept was introduced by Dr. Edward Deming in 1950Deming in 1950
  
• PDCA is normally for smaller changes in process or systems in scope - today the MAKER /  CHECKER pattern is used for independent verification that proposed changes actually solve a problem without side effects

• CIP overview
• CIP - Continuous Improvement Process - a business operations model focused on continuous improvement on business goals and operating plan was the driver for the best run company I was part of. It was always driving operations excellence while driving improvement in services, operations across all departments ( an integrated version of Agile iterative improvement ). With its focus on metrics, it was always looking to find the right data and improve data quality. With its focus on process integration across departments, clients and vendors it was a prototype for todays blockchain consortiums that re-engineer and optimize business processes across communities and roles. It fit well in the "goals down, plans up" model driving operation change from the operations level. With both corporate strategic and tactical planning cycles driving goals down, it delivered consistently good results.

• CDD supports a customer-centric solution focus
  • based on matching client use cases to requirements and related capabilities
  • this contrasts with a product-oriented process where the client has to do more work to map their needs to solutions

• given the RDD object model, define capabilities required from the RDD definitions and related NFRs ( Non Functional Requirements )

• provides a part of the SWT Value Chain Solution Engineering life cycle 
• what are the needs, priorities, problems, opportunities to solve? deliver? avoid?
  focus not on products but solution engineering
• CDD will enhance the actors and also add lower level services to implement many of the CDDs as needed
• CDD complements portfolio driven IT asset and product management
• mapping: actors may be mapped to existing objects fully or partially where that applies using the object service catalog for existing systems to reduce "reinventing the wheel" where feasible for the NFRs

...

• all phases driven by a library of executable test cases with matching masked data scenarios and automation

• tests are executable use case scenarios to implement and drive the entire delivery cycle.

SOS - Smart Object Services -  defined with SOE - service oriented engineering

• why SOS vs SOE? Because EVERYTHING has a context explicit or implicit

• soa is a dream, soe is reality – it’s what got built and runs . it’s what matters. Not a paper design.

• soe delivers what soa promises

• multiple approaches to SOE design

...

SDD - sprint driven delivery

• SDD practiced inside the SDP process
• before you run and manage sprints, you need to prepare - Sprint 0 - the preparation sprint is task-based, not time-based and critical to success
• all work for product releases, not just development, can be tracked in sprints
• the only exception is normally ongoing support for bug fixes etc

• break down deliverables into executable units of work that can be validated, ideally by users

• work sprint phases clearly EACH sprint – plan, deliver, test, review

• users involved at the start, end and testing of every sprint

• balance resource, deliverables and time in a sprint

• goals down, plans up

• daily standups

• sprint review reports

• sprint reviews

• Rotation on environments resources assets where planned or needed
• Recovery Design:  BCP, RTO, RPO
• Reliability Design: What can't fill ( by design ) will >> Design Test for Failure, Performance vs Requirements
• Rerun: support transaction reprocess where needed across the VCN
• Replay: replay data transactions where needed
• Review: monitoring and alerting of events where needed
• Redesign: when the business requirements change or the technology operations capabilities change, consider redesign
• Re-engineer: where the business requirements haven't changed significantly but operations characteristics are no longer meeting needs

STS - Smart Trust Services Concepts

SGS = Smart Governance Services  >>. GOV = GTO > Governance, Trust, Outcomes

Better Governance = Better Trust = Better Outcomes

Proof of Governance is key

CBTP - Confidence Needs Understood, Belief the Right Resources Available, Trust in Delivery Priority for a Purpose in service provider relations

Basis for agreements, contracts for value & services

RME - Risk Management Engineering - Answer? - Consensus reached on "What's it take to do it right?"

1. Creation
   1. Datablox can be created automatically or manually from definitions ( metadata )
   2. create request can be defined by data gap: an output format for specific data sources 
   3. the datablox registry shows defined datablox definitions
   4. datablox can be: named, created as temporary or permanent, shared or dedicated by default
