Audit Expectations: An audit is expected to check, does the Quality System meet the requirements of the relevant Quality System Standard/model or Contract? Does the organization do what the Quality System specifies? Is the Quality System, as implemented, effective in ensuring maintenance and improvement of the quality of products and services? Audit is not an alternative to an inspection operation and cannot serve as a crutch to an ineffective inspection or quality system Types of Audit: • First Party Audit (Internal Audits) • Second Party Audit (Customer Audits) • Third Party Audit (Audit Agencies) Horizontal and Vertical Audits: • Horizontal Audit - Assess same aspect in all projects. • Vertical Audit - Assess all aspects in one project • forward tracking • backward tracking • Hybrid Audits - Mixing Horizontal and Vertical Audits Audit Team: One or more auditors conducting an audit, supported if needed by Technical Experts. The auditors are lead by Lead Auditor. One or more auditees represent the function or the organization. Lead Auditor Responsibilities: (Second party and Third party audits) • Negotiate scope ...

CMMI High Maturity is something every software organization is interested in! Attaining Maturity Level 5 rating means world class processes in place in that organization. Though it’s everyone’s interest, there is less details available in the world on how to practically implement CMMI ML5 and how to interpret the High Maturity practices. This book is an attempt to decode the high maturity practices with clear sample cases for all the High maturity process areas, there by connecting the dots of Implementation. This book explains the practicality of implementation of CMMI ML5 and has given specific guidance in many cases. Obviously it is not the whole of CMMI or the whole of everything, however may be this is the only book which offers highest possible insight in CMMI High Maturity Implementation. What it offers: • Complete guide as an End to End CMMI High Maturity Implementation • Practical interpretation of CMMI Practices • Sample cases covering CMMI Dev and CMMI SVC Models v1.3 • Basic Statistical Concepts Required for Implementing High Maturity • Clarity in definition and difference between important terms • Connects the E...

This short technical paper advocates a bootstrapping algorithm from which we can form a statistically reliable opinion based on limited clinically observed data, regarding whether an osteo-hyperplasia could actually be a case of Ewing’s osteosarcoma. The basic premise underlying our methodology is that a primary bone tumour, if it is indeed Ewing’s osteosarcoma, cannot increase in volume beyond some critical limit without showing metastasis. We propose a statistical method to extrapolate such critical limit to primary tumour volume. Our model does not involve any physiological variables but rather is entirely based on time series observations of increase in primary tumour volume from the point of initial detection to the actual detection of metastases....
