The Resource Approach The Triad Reference Model Can Technology work well without People? And anymore, can People work well without Technology? Process It takes a Process to bring technology and people together to achieve anything Technology People The major determinant of cost and schedule - Quality - is reflected in the Triad Reference Model Process, Technology, and People Working Together to Achieve Quality. 1

The Premise of Process Management The quality of a product (or service ) is dictated by the quality of the processes used to acquire, develop, and maintain it. Improvement focuses on fixing the processes, and then examining the impact on the product. Institutionalized processes remain long after the people who defined them are gone. The collection and analysis of data should be used continuously in a continuous manner to improve performance. Well known Process Initiatives applied to manufacturing and systems engineering include: CMMI * ISO 9000 * Six Sigma 2

Motivations for Repeatable Processes Defined processes can promote use of technology and people to their best advantage. Disciplined use of processes facilitates evaluation, analysis, and improvement. Processes provide ways to work smarter, as opposed to harder. The promise behind a set of repeatable processes: If people leave or technology changes, the organization should be able to continue moving forward with minimal disruption. 3
