Module 2: Professional Standards

With regards to information and communication technology (ICT) standards, computer engineers
are also expected to be familiar and guided as professional practitioners by the international
standards set by the following organizations:
 American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
 International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
 International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
 International Society (ISOC)
 Internet Society and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
 Electronic Industries Alliance and the Telecommunications Industry Association
(EIA/TIA)
Example of Industrial ICT Standards
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international body that

standardizes how businesses and organizations involved in commerce and industry manage
information and processes. It promotes global standardization for specifications and
requirements for materials, products, procedures, formats, information, and quality management.

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a proven approach to performance

management with decades of results showing it works. Organizations using CMMI have
predictable cost, schedule, and quality – business results that serve as discriminators among their
competitors. It has 5 characteristics of the maturity levels, which are:
 1: Initial – process results are unreliable; heroic efforts needed to produce results
 2: Managed – process is defined but results are inconsistent; more reactive, less
proactive
 3: Defined – process is defined and results are reliable; more proactive, less reactive
 4: Quantitavely Managed – process is measured and controlled; quality is defined
 5: Optimizing – continuous improvement; fact-based decisions
Six Sigma is quality management system (QMS) that is a set of techniques and tools for process
improvement. As a measure of quality that strives for near perfection, it is a disciplined and data-
driven methodology focused on eliminating defects. The Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve,
Control (DMAIC) process improvement methodology of Six Sigma is used for improving
existing processes.

Project Management Methodologies
Project Management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project
activities to meet the requirements. It is accomplished through the appropriate application and
integration of the 47 logically grouped project management processes, categorized into five
Process Groups.
Managing a project includes:

• Identifying requirements and addressing the various needs, concerns, and expectations of the
stakeholders in planning and executing the project;
• Setting up, maintaining, and carrying out communications among stakeholders that are active,
effective, and collaborative in nature;

• Managing stakeholders towards meeting project requirements and creating project deliverables;
• Balancing the competing project constraints, which include, but are not limited to:
 Scope
 Schedule
 Budget
 Quality
 Resources
 Risks
What is a Project?
 A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or
result. The temporary nature of projects indicates that a project has a definite beginning
and end.
 The end is reached when the project‘s objectives have been achieved or when the project
is terminated because its objectives will not or cannot be met, or when the need for the
project no longer exists, like when the client wishes to terminate the project.
 Temporary refers to the project‘s engagement and its longevity, and it does not typically
apply to the product, service, or result created by the project. Most projects are
undertaken to create a lasting outcome.
 A project can create:
 A product that can be either a component of another item, an enhancement of an
item, or an end item in itself;
 A service or a capability to perform a service (e.g., a business function that
supports production or distribution);
 An improvement in the existing product or service lines (e.g., A Six Sigma project
undertaken to reduce defects); or
 A result, such as an outcome or document (e.g., a research project that develops
knowledge that can be used to determine whether a trend exists or a new process
will benefit society)
Program is comprised of subprograms, projects, or other work that are managed in a
coordinated fashion in support of the portfolio, while portfolio is a collection of projects,
programs, subportfolios, and operations managed as a group to achieve strategic objectives.
The role of the project manager is to lead the team that is responsible for achieving the project
objectives. He/she is accountable for the tasks of all project-related parties; must have full
control and visibility of the project management, and immediately take necessary actions as
needed. This is in contrast with the role of a functional manager who is focused on providing
management oversight for a functional or a business unit, and operations managers are
responsible for ensuring that business operations are efficient.
More importantly, the project manager is accountable for decision-making between the Project
Management Triple Constraint, which is illustrated as the triangle of project management.
He/she has the right and responsibility to make wise decisions in necessary assessments,
discussions, negotiations, and adjustments involving the project‘s scope, budget (cost), and
schedule (time), which all determine the project‘s degree and quality of success.
Engineering projects involve creative problem solving, and they are not hypothesis testing.
Each engineering design, software application, or device project should have a clear engineering
goal and follow the engineering design process, which has the following steps:
1. Define a need; express as a goal
2. Establish design criteria and constraints
3. Evaluate alternative designs
4. Build a prototype of best design

5. Test and evaluate the prototype using the design criteria

6. Analyze test results, make design changes, and retest
7. Communicate the design
Project selection is a process to assess each project idea and select the project with the highest
priority. Projects are still just suggestions at this stage, so the selection is often made based on
only brief descriptions of the project. Cost–Benefit Analysis (CBA) is a systematic approach to
estimating the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives used to determine options which provide
the best approach to achieving benefits while preserving savings.
Acquiring and Developing a Project Team

Project Management Methodology is a combination of logically related practices, methods

and processes that determine how best to plan, develop, control and deliver a project
throughout the continuous implementation process until successful completion and termination.
It is a scientifically-proven, systematic and disciplined approach to project design, execution and
completion.

Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBoK) is a set of standard terminology and

guidelines for project management. The PMBOK Guide is intended to be a subset of the
PMBOK that is generally recognized as a good practice.

Project documentation covers documents created during and for the project itself. Examples
include the overall project vision, the project plans, the schedule, and the risk analysis. The
documentation process has a deeper purpose than merely creating piles of paper.
“No matter how good the team or how efficient the methodology, if we’re not solving the right problem, the project
fails.” – Woody Williams
