PA4.1 Quantitative Analysis Process

# PROCESS ATTRIBUTE SCOPE
The quantitative analysis process attribute is a of the extent to which are defined, relationships between process elements are identified and data are collected.

# PROCESS ATTRIBUTE ACHIEVEMENTS

A1 Process (Information need = The need for characterizing process or product related effectiveness and efficiency (used by MAN.6 and PA4.1).) in support of relevant defined quantitative business goals are established.
A2 Measurable relationships between process elements that contribute to the process performance, and data collection techniques and data collection frequency, are identified.
A3 Process (Measurement = “The activity to find the size, quantity or degree of something”.) objectives are derived from process (Information need = The need for characterizing process or product related effectiveness and efficiency (used by MAN.6 and PA4.1).).
A4 Techniques for analyzing the collected data are selected.
A5 Quantitative control limits for process performance in support of relevant business goals are established.
A6 Results of (Measurement = “The activity to find the size, quantity or degree of something”.) are collected, validated and reported in order to monitor the extent to which the quantitative targets/objectives for process performance are met.
Note: (Information need = The need for characterizing process or product related effectiveness and efficiency (used by MAN.6 and PA4.1).) typically reflect management, technical, (Project = Endeavor with defined start and finish dates undertaken to create a product or service in accordance with specified resources and requirements.), process or product needs.
