In March we had the chance to introduce all of our IT Quality Index courses all together, from the IT Quality Foundation training, through Expert, to the newest course of IT Quality Manager.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional approaches to quality management usually simplify quality to \u201cSatisfied users\u201d or \u201cMeeting the users requirements \u2013 SLAs or KPIs\u201d. It\u2019s true that every IT department or IT service provider is also under pressure to reduce costs or increase efficiency, so why should anyone do more if we reach the certain levels of KPI, SLA, CSAT index? Quality management therefore means keeping numbers within their specified limits. Should we think about changing the way in which we work if that has the potential to negatively impact the figures we have reported for years? \u2018We need continuity\u2019 is what we typically hear from\u00a0CIOs.<\/p>\n<p>But the IT Quality Management System as described in a new course, IT Quality Manager, is built and designed in a different way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1772\" src=\"http:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WP_20180319_09_13_28_Pro-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WP_20180319_09_13_28_Pro-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WP_20180319_09_13_28_Pro-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WP_20180319_09_13_28_Pro-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WP_20180319_09_13_28_Pro.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Key differences and parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IT is perceived as a complex system where individual parts constantly change and need to adopt to other system parts changes<\/li>\n<li>Change of one part of system may trigger need of change of other part of the system<\/li>\n<li>Quality starts with ability to detect fault part of the system component and this initiates corrective activity<\/li>\n<li>Quality improvement then means elimination of bad practices<\/li>\n<li>Quality improvement means search and adoption of better practices \u2013 right practices<\/li>\n<li>Quality improvement may be based on uncertain result of improvement as we can\u2019t predict changes of other parts of system in the future<\/li>\n<li>We need to develop new techniques how to quantify benefits of improvements which could be then shown to executives in a figurative form, charts, reports \u2013 CVC, RBA, ADRA techniques<\/li>\n<li>IT Quality Management System needs to self-monitor resources consumed for improvements realization but also for improvements management. IT QMS needs to be recursively, continually improved as other parts of the system<\/li>\n<li>Role of IT Quality Manager defines new responsibilities as not defined yet in other best practices<\/li>\n<li>IT QMS is built around predefined Visual Board which makes improvements tangible and allows aggregation of knowledge over the time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Feedback from all three courses was good and provided confirmation about relevance of IT quality term as relevant agenda to the almost every IT department. Beside of well-known and established role of IT security manager we need to extend IT governance to cover also IT quality management practices, based on systems thinking. As many IT departments named and staffed security roles, the very same needs to happen with IT quality management.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1770\" src=\"http:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ADRA-1024x459.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ADRA-1024x459.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ADRA-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ADRA-768x344.png 768w, https:\/\/www.q4it.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ADRA.png 1171w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Picture from the IT Quality Manager course: technique ADRA<\/p>\n<p>Are you interested in learning more?
