This document discusses risks and requirements in new product development. It focuses on assessing risks early in the NPD process to avoid costly changes later. Several risk assessment tools are described, including FMECA which identifies potential failure modes and their effects. Requirements should balance technical, human, and economic factors. Both overspecifying and underspecifying requirements can increase risks. User needs must be understood and requirements specified clearly to guide design and development effectively.

Many projects implicitly use some kind of risk-based approach for prioritizing testing activities. However, critical testing decisions should be based on a product risk assessment process using key business drivers as its foundation. For agile projects, this assessment should be both thorough and lightweight. PRISMA (PRoduct RISk MAnagement) is a highly practical method for performing systematic product risk assessments. Learn how to employ PRISMA techniques in agile projects using risk-poker. Carry out risk identification and analysis, see how to use the outcome to select the best test approach, and learn how to transform the result into an agile one page sprint test plan. Practical experiences are shared and results achieved employing product risk assessments. Learn how to optimize your test effort by including product risk assessment in your agile testing practices.

Controlling Project Performance by Using a Defect Model - SEPG NA 2008 - Ben ...Ben Linders
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had more insight in product quality, during development? To estimate defects inserted in the product, and check how effective test is in capturing defects? We developed a model to measure defects from requirements to customer feedback after release. It is used to control projects (putting quality next to planning/budget), evaluate risks, and decide on release and support. Baseline data is used to measure and improve process performance.

Software Quality Metrics for Testers - StarWest 2013XBOSoft
Presentation by Phil Lew at StarWest 2013.
When implementing software quality metrics, we need to first understand the purpose of the metrics and who will be using them. Will the metric be used to measure people or the process, to illustrate the level of quality in software products, or to drive toward a specific objective? QA managers typically want to deliver productivity metrics to management but management may want to see metrics that describe customer or user satisfaction. Philip Lew believes that software quality metrics without actionable objectives toward increasing customer satisfaction are a waste of time. Learn how to connect each metric with potential actions based on evaluating the metric. Metrics for the sake of information may be helpful but often just end up in spreadsheets of interest to no one. Take home methods to identify metrics that support actionable objectives. Once the metrics and their objectives have been established, learn how to define and use metrics for real improvement.

Successful project managers manage achievements, not activities. What this means is that the readiness and acceptability of project deliverables are what must be monitored, rather than the completion status of activities. But most managers track time, cost and effort only because they are easy to measure.
The decision making in projects is critically dependent on accurate information and this tutorial describes how QA and testing is the main source of Project Intelligence (PI). Delegates will see how PI can be gathered, analysed and presented to senior management to support the crunch decisions that often go unmade because of lack of information.
This tutorial offers a new approach to test strategy, using techniques based on the emerging discipline called Benefits Realisation Management. Results Chain models will be used to show the fundamental relationships between project goals, risks, project activities and dependencies being used as a framework for test strategy. PI promotes better communication within projects and supports the need of senior management to make better decisions when setbacks occur early, when change becomes inevitable and testing is squeezed.
The techniques of PI will be illustrated and practised using several exercises during the day. A case study will be used to explain how PI can work in a realistic setting and the way PI can be used to support decision making are discussed.
The Project Intelligence approach does not come naturally. Individuals may or may not embrace change, but organisational culture always resists it. Organisational culture allows an organisation to bend when a changed approach is required. But that same culture tends to restore the old ways, when the pressure to work differently is removed. So often, change programmes fail because initial successes cannot be sustained. The tutorial outlines a change process specifically targeted at changing the culture of a business to demand better intelligence from its project management and establish a permanent need for IT to engage with business to secure business benefits.
The PI approach transforms management's perception of testing, promotes closer collaboration between development and test and better informs management decision making.

To explain the tremendous evolution in ICT the last decades, one typically refers to the Law of Moore. Today we’re facing with new languages and methodologies popping up like buzz words. Understanding the evolution of programming and cornerstone concepts will help you to position and value future programming languages and trends.
Although GPS developments started in 1967, it’s only in the early 70’s that NASA launched its first Earth Observation satellite. Contemporary technologies like satellite navigation and remote sensing are key in our daily life. Still, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Explore the potential of these technologies in your future products or services, and find a way to get things done.
Based on demonstrations and cases you’ll explore the future impact on new interface technologies like gesture, augmented and virtual reality. Douglas Engelbart developed the computer mouse in the ’60s. It was the first in a list of human interface technologies that revolutionized the way we interact with ICT. What’s the next big thing?
At the end of the ’60s, the first research programs started on humanoid robots. Although this technology inspired many of us, it’s only now that we see first applications arise. What’s the status of the robotics technology? How is it impacted by other technologies like AI, RF and energy storage? Let’s discuss the evolution and potential for your business based on recent projects and technologies available at our partners and alumni start-ups.
Let’s discuss the boundary conditions to innovate successfully based on some cases in Flanders and the Netherlands. Most governments are taking about half of their gross national product for their account. They can be better off by being open to innovation in the public purchase process and act as a launching customer for their industry and start-ups.
What’s the impact of public moonshot projects on innovation if they’re set up the right way? Armstrong saw his first footstep on the moon as one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. And he was right.
The human aspect in driving innovation is not to be underestimated. Driving innovation is done by implementing the necessary tools and structures. However driving desired behavior on individual and team level is at least equally important. Möbius will share insights in how to build an innovation and continuous improvement culture.
The key concept in any start-up? The freedom to experiment as basis for accelerated learning. Or like Pink Floyd sang in the 70’s: “We don’t need no education.” Is your FabLab ready for it?
How do you set up your venture and accelerate growth? Start-ups are in a fundamental different position than corporates. As a consequence they play a different ball game. What can the start-up culture learn from the ’60s?
What are the differences between popular innovation project management methodologies? Why does project management often fail? Learn how risk assessment should define your methodology in order to become a real innovation factory. The waterfall methodology has been promoted for years as the best practice for IR&D management. These days agile and scrum are increasingly popular as alternative. Hater or believer? Good or bad? Get guided through our body of knowledge as published in the Inspire Toolbox.
Project management in innovation can only be successful if it’s driven by a robust methodology integrating a clear quality assurance concept. What can trendy methodologies learn from the house of quality?
50 years ago, innovation centers like Xerox or Philips’ Natlab set the benchmark with their methodologies on organizing innovation. Today, innovation is influenced by rapid-moving triggers and companies have to organize accordingly. Discover current best practices on organizing your innovation ecosystem.
How do you reinvent a mature business with the right cocktail of user insights and technologies? The message is clear: choose for differentiation or servitization, or loose.
AI has an inevitable impact on your next generation products and services. Things evolved relatively slow since the first AI experiments in the ’60s. Today, AI is accelerating as no other technology has done before. How will the 4th wave of Artificial Intelligence transform your future business?
Discover the newest insights in understanding value drivers and their impact on new products and services. From technology improvement towards platform economy with the value pyramid. How to use new design skills and service design to create experience economy?
The adoption of innovative IoT technology in smart cities seems to go slower than the utopian predictions of the last decade. This might be because the traditional business-to-government model is no longer sufficient to bear the investment cost and get these systems operational. Multi-sided business models can offer
a possible solution, but require a different approach from governments as well as suppliers, as illustrated by recent Verhaert cases.
AI can be weaved together with space technologies to provide exciting new solutions to a wide array of industries. Get a glimpse of how space data can enhance businesses, and how ESA Space Solutions Belgium can offer you the tools and funding to develop your ideas.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

An Approach to reverse the learning curve
Avoid unnecessary risk:
Define / Limit the level of innovation according objectives
Identify remaining risk:
Review if you have a clear set of requirements: identify TBD’s/TBC’s.
Ensure that you properly understand the requirements and that
there is a consensus, identify YOUR risks (level of knowledge).
Are all disciplines /aspects covered before starting the next phase (also
human aspects!)

An Approach to reverse the learning curve
Move it to the front end:
Plan to mitigate risk and allocate priorities in a solid development plan
Ensure that requirements/functions/performance, … can be met. This
might involve early verification (e.g. by breadboarding)
Get control on the process:
Plan project buffers instead of task buffers to protect your project
Set-up a control system and a transparent documentation (configuration

FMECA intro
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
FMECA is a bottom up risk assessment tool, typically used to assess technical risks.
Goals
• to identify potential failure modes for a product or process,
• to assess the risk associated with those failure modes,
• to rank the issues in terms of importance
• to address the most serious concerns
• to identify and carry out corrective actions

FMECA: functional level or piece-part level?
Functional FMECA
• Considers the failures at the functional block level (e.g. a power supply)
• This method can be used early in the design process.
• Provides more overview / insight in system interactions and dependencies.
Piece part FMECA
• Considers the individual components (e.g. a transistor)
• Used when a detailed design is available
• A piece part FMECA provides more in depth evaluation.
• A piece part FMECA requires far more effort.
Tailoring of FMECA
• Determine the level of detail according to the needs and type of product
• Start at functional level and dig deeper where needed
• Maximise your “return on investment”

FMECA: Strengths & weaknesses
Strengths:
• Avoid costly modifications by the early identification of design deficiencies……if used early
• Provide an understanding of the factors which influence the reliability of the system
• To provide proof that care has been taken to ensure that the design will meet its specification in
service.
Weaknesses:
• FMEA can be a time/resource consuming & inefficient process … see tailoring
• Inability to deal with multiple-failure scenarios or unplanned cross-system effects.
• Software/hardware interactions
• Human interactions with hardware
21. CONFIDENTIAL
October 26th 2012 Slide 22
Main reasons for an ineffective FMECA !!
Organisation / management level:
• Lack of follow-up to insure implementation
• Not enough support of management
Typically 50% of field problems can occur at interfaces or integration with the
system.
Disconnect between FMEA and company information
• Eg Field failure data
• Eg previous products design
The FMEA is not completed during the "window of opportunity”.
-> functional FMEA early in design process
-> Piece part FMEA should be available at design reviews
Failure to get to root cause.
-> Expert input is necessary.
-> Should be team action
23. CONFIDENTIAL
October 26th 2012 Slide 24
Strengths of FTA
• A disciplined approach which is highly systematic
• Flexible enough to allow analysis of a variety of factors, including human
interactions and physical phenomena.
• The application of the "top-down" approach focuses attention on those effects of failure
which are directly related to the top event.
• The pictorial representation leads to an understanding of the system behaviour and
the factors

October 26th 2012 Slide 25
How can risk assessment help you in
meeting requirements ?
Use risk assessment tools to select the most promising concepts / exclude the
most risky concepts
• Use major requirements as top event in a FTA
• Use functional FMECA in the concept faze of NPD
FMECA: use the requirements as basic input for the ratings
• Eg the severity of an image defect in an office printer is much lower than
for a medical diagnostic printer
• Eg the severity rating for a low budget hand tool will be much lower than
for a professional craftsmen tool.

Reporting & communication
Risk register / Risk Breakdown Structure
•
Set priorities to keep focus on added value: risk score ranking
•
Communicate with stakeholders
•
Track and control
•
Assign responsibilities
•
Reporting is incidental to good RM, not the sole focus of it!
•
If you only focus on reporting, you will not motivate the required culture change
•
Weakness: combinatorial risks, illusion of control

To specify in excessive detail.
The customer overspecified the requirements and now we're contractually required
to build it this way. Does he think he's an engineer?
To specify excessive capability.
As usual the customer overspecified the requirements, it's like asking for a car that
sits 20 and fits in compact car's parking space
Don’t Overspecify

Option management & requirements
Be aware of extra risk due to design changes (schedule,
cost, impact on other design items, …)
Examples:
Hot cold treatment:
• Temperature target 2 °C very demanding
and not usefull for treatment
Borehole measurement:
• 5 µm target very demanding , set by quality department
and not usefull for end user (production)
Overspecified Underspecified

Dependability requirements
i.e. define a safe system (dependability)
• generate requirements to ensure the root causes of risks are avoided
• ensure risk doesn’t arise
• ensure if it arises it doesn’t develop into an incident
• ensure damage is minimised
• ensure if damage occurs cost of recovery is minimised
-> generate requirements that ensure there is a high probability that these safety
functions will be available
Requirements that specify the detection, isolation, diagnosis, and recovery of the system
from failures and its restoration to an acceptable state and therefore a level of fault
tolerance, fault handling and fault recovery, diagnostic & error messages
