Many information technology organizations are adopting Six Sigma practices as part of larger organizational quality initiatives. Software engineers and software quality professionals in these organizations can find it difficult to adapt Six Sigma techniques to their own professional practice because the emphasis of the organizational initiative is on organization-wide and project-level implementation. Individuals working in organizations that are not adopting Six Sigma can feel completely overlooked by the Six Sigma movement. This paper focuses on learning and adapting Six Sigma techniques at a personal level, incorporating these techniques and tools into one’s professional practice regardless of whether or not Six Sigma is being implemented at the organizational level. (This presentation does not presume any particular Six Sigma knowledge or expertis...

Abstract: The process for managing and executing software maintenance activities is described. IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard. Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services r...
