book is for everyone involved in quality in an organization. This
book will help your obtain total quality management, a must read
for the organizational change management process. Also offers
experiences in testing & quality standards and methodologies
of TMap, Testframe, ITIL, ISO 9001, TQM, Prince2, RUP, CMM, TMM,
ISEB."
This book is for everyone involved in quality in an
organization. That is everyone. Not only testers and quality
assurance people are involved in quality. Also the people
responsible for the quality of machines, personnel, training,
finance, products, materials, services, methods, procedures, you
name it. And especially the management that is responsible for
everything in the organization, also the optimal organization of
the processes, so that the highest possible quality is realized at
a minimum of time and cost.
The general message of this book is:
Do what is really
necessary and skip what is not. Quality is placed in a broad
perspective; it is much more than just the product quality.
Organizational aspects are discussed. Also human processes like
personal development and self respect are part of quality. We will
get into that in chapter 5, where we will discuss every aspect of
changes in the organization.
Publisher's
Note: The author is also the author of quality
courses currently used in Universities today. His Q-Courses
will show you how to implement Quality yourself. The Quality
Courses advise you to buy the "Q-Course Quality &
Organization" book first. Currently in Germany it is possible
to do a Q-Course Foundation Course including an exam that is a
state approved part of recognized vocational and higher education
programs in IT. Also in the UK and the US there is an increasing
interest in the Q-Courses for obvious reasons.
