Excellent caricature. Deming was a great fan of usability. I will interject my bias on efficiency: 1. Efficiency=Quality/Cost 2. Quality = design performance + satisfaction Effeciency isn't a rush job as many assume - but cost effective usability. thurman > -Original Message- > From:

I know this is a caricature, but I keep thinking of, "If you raised your chair 1 centimeter, then over the course of a year you could save 45 minutes on time spent standing up to walk to the water cooler." Performance based management is great, but it begs the question of what we are really managi

Certainly, I agree that the traditional approach to quality in software development (test at the end of the development cycle) is all but hopeless. We can no more imagine every possible scenario that might unfold in the use of a complex software product than we can imagine every way a person might

Thurman, The Deming cycle embodies some important concepts, but your breakdown of it for software development does not fit very well with my understanding. In following the link below, it seems to me that the central element is the application of the concept of a feedback cycle to business pacti

Re: [Hardhats-members] Life cycle models

With respect to the term "Life Cycle Model" we must remember that we are speaking of the representation of the processes and activities that will lead, over the lifetime of the envisioned system, to the trajectory of system configurations. There will be the general form of processes and activit

Re: [Hardhats-members] Life cycle models

I assume that by "ACT" you mean "activity"? This is interesting because it's a case in which I find my instinct and intuition at odds. My basic instinct as a developer is to break it up into a (possibly cyclic) sequence of (timed?) events. My intuition, on the other hand, is that on the sem
