39. 39 Myths & Misconceptions High quality is too expensive SPI & high quality are for NASA & DoD Faster cycle times result in lower quality Software is purely creative thought stuff Process improvement is a long journey CMM Level 3 is good enough CMM Level 5 is a utopian state CMM Level 5 costs more than Level 1

40. 40 Myths & Misconceptions SPI is just a fad SPI doesn’t affect the bottom line Metrics are too hard & irrelevant Quality can’t be measured SPI is too expensive CMM is too heavy & complex CMM certification without change ISO 9000 certification without change

41. 41 Myths & Misconceptions Pervasive myth of partial implementation What part of the house can you live without ?

42. 42 Model Corporate Culture CEO committed to SPI Executives committed to SPI Senior management committed to SPI Line management committed to SPI Staff committed to SPI Organization hires people with SPI skills Organization cultivates SPI skills

43. 43 Use Powerful “Solutions” Learn that SPI affects the “bottom line” Aggressively achieve SPI Make SPI #1 goal (Ichiban) Choose powerful SPI “solutions” Create SPI vision, strategy, & tactical plan Manage directly to SPI vision Reap benefits inexpensively on day one
