Measure & Continuously Improve Engineering Craftsmanship

This standard mandates the measurement and continuous improvement of engineering craftsmanship through feedback and iteration.

1. Measure & Continuously Improve Engineering Craftsmanship:

Excellence is a continuous journey that requires feedback and iteration. This approach ensures ongoing improvement in engineering practices.

• 1.1 Code Quality Metrics:
  • 1.1.1 Metric Utilisation:
    • Use code quality metrics (e.g., maintainability index, cyclomatic complexity, duplication levels).
    • Automate the collection of code quality metrics.
  • 1.1.2 Metric Reporting:
    • Automate the generation of code quality reports.
    • Implement code quality metric tutorials.
• 1.2 DORA Metrics Tracking:
  • 1.2.1 Engineering Efficiency Assessment:
    • Track DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Change Failure Rate, MTTR) to assess engineering efficiency.
    • Automate the collection of DORA metrics.
  • 1.2.2 DORA Metric Improvement:
    • Use DORA metrics to drive process improvements.
    • Automate the tracking of improvement actions.
• 1.3 Technical Retrospectives:
  • 1.3.1 Craftsmanship Focus:
    • Conduct regular technical retrospectives focused on craftsmanship improvements.
    • Automate the generation of retrospective reports.
  • 1.3.2 Improvement Implementation:
    • Automate the implementation of improvement actions.
    • Implement improvement tracking.

By measuring and continuously improving engineering craftsmanship, organisations can ensure ongoing improvement in engineering practices.
