QMS Drafted – Infrastructure Up – Ready to Start


Tonight is a good night.  The past month I have made a ton of progress.  Now I actually feel I am ready to start.  Here is the status:

QMS:

All of the major components are drafted… at least as much as I feel I need for a 0.1 version of the APP.  Thus far I have

  • Quality Manual – A strong draft is complete.  I need to audit it, but all the sections are there.
  • Quality Policy – A strong draft is complete.  Audit required.  I may adjust it as I move forward, but it really is good enough for now.
  • Controlled Document Procedure – A strong draft is complete.
  • Controlled Document Template – In use
  • Maser Document List – In use
  • Content Approval Template – Drafted.
  • Supplier List – In use, but the procedure has not been drafted.
  • Design and Development Procedure – Drafted, needs a walkthrough before it is committed.
  • Project Charter Template – A strong draft is complete.  Time to use it.
  • Project Plan – A strong draft is complete.  Time to use it.
  • .Customer Requirements and Acceptance Test Template – A strong draft is complete.  Time to use it.
  • Software Design and Development Procedure – A light draft.  I want to walkthrough it with all of the documents listed here to make sure I am OK.
  • Software Design Template – A strong draft is complete.  Time to use it.
  • Hazard and Risk Procedure – The framework is in place, but I am missing some definitions and details.
  • Hazard and Risk Template – Drafted.  I want to walkthrough it with a project.

Infrastructure:

  • Website is up.
  • GitLab is up and workflow entered
    • git is functional
    • Wiki seems to work
  • AWS has had a real disaster recovery incident
  • Website is registered as Stone Mill Kids
  • I am using trello to track the project management backlog

 The App:

  • Experimental App is working, and has been given to the kids
  • Requirements for 0.1 have been chosen (they grew, then went to what they were originally).
  • External Libraries and pilot projects have been tested and confirmed to work with Android.
  • Artwork is weak, but there.
  • Basic Shapes also exist.

My Next Steps?

  • Use the 0.1 requirements to walk through a complete development cycle.
  • As this passes each stage, audit the R&D documents and add any missing information
  • Once all of the R&D work is done, audit the non-R&D templates.
  • Audit the remaining Polices and Procedures that have been drafted such that they are ready to be committed.
  • Repeat the process with 0.2 requirements (features TBD) filling in any remaining R&D items (such as a design transfer)
  • Do a GAP analysis on the QMS and come up with a QMS project plan to complete the efforts.

Basic Requirements:

As a reminder, the requirements for 0.1 are as follows:

1) Touch the screen and a shape appears.

2) Hold your finger on the screen and the shape grows

3) Press the screen again, and repeat, to add as many shapes as you want.

4) Press an existing Shape to have it “pop” or be removed from the screen.

5) Press an existing shape and drag it to move it across the screen.

That’s it.  I would argue that #5 is not needed, but I want to test dragging on both iOS and Android.
