45. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering ARB Session Outline DCR Similar format to FCR, different focus: –Less time for OCD, Prototype –More time for Architecture, Plans –Details TBD based on FCR ARB experience General rule on focus: emphasize your project's high risk areas –At FCR (in most cases) this will involve establishing the operational concept (including system analysis) –At DCR (in most cases) this will involve the system design and development plan (especially schedule) 45

46. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Results To Date 46 * Reasons: - Poor performance - Poor team management - Poor communication (within team and with client)

52. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Past FCR Experiences and General Guidelines

53. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Outline Previous FCR ARB Feedback Summary Examples of Good and Bad Practices seen at ARBs ARB Chartsmanship & Presentation 53

54. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Overall FCR Feedback Generally done well: presentations, time management, client rapport Reconcile FCR content with ARB Success Criteria When asked a question: –Give the answer in brief, this will help your time management and the Review Board will get the desired information –Listen Carefully, One speaker at a time Many had poor time management that indicated that presentation(s) had NOT been practiced Occasional pointing at laptop screen, not projected image (even better over Webex, use mouse) Very occasionally, slides with NO value added 54

55. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering OCD Feedback (1) Generally done well: Organizational goals, Operational concept, System boundary and organizational environment. Some benefits chains need rework: –Added stakeholders: users, clients, developers, IIV&Vers, database administrators, maintainers, interoperators, suppliers –Assumptions are about environment not about outcome –Involvement/use of system before system is built –Some organization goal(s) are Benefits Chain end outcomes System boundary diagram –If you are using the component in/for your system, remove it from environment, e.g. PHP,.NET framework. 55

56. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering OCD Feedback (2) Organization Goals –Are Benefits Chain End Outcomes (or maybe a subset) –Are NOT project Initiative contributions Identify Levels of Service properly –100% availability, 100% reliability - not feasible! –Make sure you can measure LOS goals Prototypes and System are NOT the same (usually) Business Workflow –Use activity-type diagram –Illustrate business activities Not technical/system activity May not even “see” system explicitly 56

57. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Prototype Feedback Generally done well: GUI Prototypes, Good understanding of client’s needs Prototype all high-risk elements, not just GUI’s –COTS interoperability, performance, scalability Use user/client-friendly terms –“John Doe, 22 Elm St.” not generic substitutions like “Name1, Addr1” –Use as an opportunity to gather more information and/or examples Identify end users and try to get feedback from end users Focus on important and high priority requirements (initially) 57

58. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Requirements Feedback Generally done well: Project and Capability requirements, OCD-requirements traceability Prioritize all the requirements Propagate LOS goals from OCD into SSRD or drop LOS requirements from SSRD (and SSAD) Distinguish between client imposed requirements and developer choice solution (SSAD) Make sure all requirements are testable Qualify “24/7 Availability" with exceptions Update the new requirements in WinBook tool There is no such thing as an “implicit requirement” 58

59. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering SSAD Feedback Generally done well: Overall views Follow UML conventions (arrows, annotations, etc.) Generalization of actors Uncommon mistakes in use-case diagrams –Two actors-one use case (means BOTH present) –Arrow direction for or Devil is in the detail; simple is the best Only two teams had an adequate start on Information & Arctifacts Diagram Read the exit criteria for the milestone carefully 59

60. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering LCP Feedback - 1 Generally done well: overall strategy, roles and responsibilities Too many 577b TBDs Identify required skills for NN new team member(s) (577b; if needed to meet "team size") Show (concentrate on) your future plan; not the past Full Foundations phase plan Don’t plan ONLY for documentation –Include Modeling –Include Prototyping; coding; executable architecture 60

61. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering LCP Feedback - 2 COCOMO drivers –Often differ per the module (type) –PMATs rationale was often wrong: CS577 projects' process maturity should be between 2 and 3 –Some driver rationales were "ridiculous" Add DEN Student interactions to Gantt Chart –IIV&V –System/Project Engineer Add maintainer’s responsibilities 61

62. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering FED Feedback Generally done well: Business case framework, risk analysis Specify LOS feasibility plans Include training, operations, maintenance, opportunity costs/effort Few had developers hours as cost (which is correct) Try to quantify benefits, show return on investment Change ROI to reflect on-going costs (possibly savings) Distinguish one-time from annual costs in business case Benefits start in mid 2010 (go at 6 months granularity); Costs start mid 2009 Elaborate process rationale Complete section 6 – COTS Analysis 62

63. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering QFP Generally done well Some missing traceability injection-removal matrix Some seemed to try to "snow us with data", not present just a quick summary 63

64. University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering Things to improve Presentation – communication skill –One word wrong could lead to billion $ loss. Practice in front of others Be concise and precise Consistencies among each artifact Team work vs. integrated individual works Prepare your client: –Tell them what an ARB is (use agenda, success criteria) –Tell them what to expect from ARB Time management –Get in and set-up ASAP –Have documents & client present 64
