In-Depth Information
Pilot test and refining: No software should go directly to market without first
piloting and refining. Here we can use software failure mode effect analysis
(SFMEA
14
) as well as pilot- and small-scale implementations to test and
evaluate real-life performance.
Validation and process control: In this step, we will validate the new entity
to make sure that the software, as designed, meets the requirements and to
establish process controls in operations to ensure that critical characteristics
are always produced to specification of the optimize phase.
Stage 7: Launch Readiness
Stage 7 Entrance Criteria

The operational processes have been demonstrated.
Risk assessment.
15
All control plans are in place.
Final design and operational process documentation has been published.
The process is achieving or exceeding all operating metrics.
Operations have demonstrated continuous operations without the support of
the design development personnel.
Planned sustaining development personnel are transferred to operations.
Optimize, eliminate, automate, and/or control vital few inputs deemed in
the previous phase.
Document and implement the control plan.
Sustain the gains identified.
Reestablish and monitor long-term delivery capability.
A transition plan is in place for the design development personnel.
Risk assessment.

TG “7” Exit Criteria
The decision is made to reassign the DFSS Black Belt.
Full commercial roll out and transfer to new design owner: As the design
entity is validated and process control is established, we will launch a full-
scale commercial roll out, and the newly designed software together with the
supporting operations processes can be handed over to the design and de-
sign owners, complete with requirements settings and control and monitoring
systems.
Closure of Tollgate 7: Approval of the gate keeper is obtained.
