Fabricate
Construct IT solutions based on design principles and standards — for example, multi-tier architecture, coding, and security.
Improvement Planning
Practices-Outcomes-Metrics (POM)
Representative POMs are described for Fabricate at each level of maturity.
- 1Initial
- Practice
- Practices are ad hoc and are on a best endeavour basis.
- 2Basic
- Practice
- Specify some basic implementation standards within IT (e.g. coding standards, integration standards).
- Outcome
- The quality of the implementation process improves.
- Metric
- # of implementation standards specified.
- 3Intermediate
- Practice
- Select and consistently use effective methods for implementing design IT solutions (e.g. extreme programmeming, object-oriented programmeming, etc..).
- Outcome
- Quality of implemented IT solutions is increased.
- Metric
- # of formal methods used in IT solution implementation(s).
- 4Advanced
- Practice
- Select and consistently use effective implementation methods (e.g. re-factoring, implementation patterns).
- Outcome
- Quality of implemented IT solution is improved.
- Metric
- # of effective implementation methods used.
- 5Optimized
- Practice
- Ensure applied implementation methods are continually reviewed and benchmarked against new methods.
- Outcome
- The methods used are ‘best in class’ resulting in improved implementation practices.
- Metric
- # of new implementation methods reviewed and benchmarked against new methods.
