Fully matured, Inherent Quality is intrinsic and pervasive. The Inherent Quality manuscript among other shows that the body of knowledge for software and information technology professionals is a moving target that is steadily expanding through the profession’s DNA discoveries and innovations which have resulted in (and continue to result in) numerous considerations and terms from A (accountability) to Z (zero defects), and inherently everything in between. As example we provide a long yet partial common delimited list below of terms and/or considerations. To further appreciate the moving target we welcome you to read our manuscript and hope you find something within of particular value to you. Please know, in creating the manuscript it was our intention to be ethical, professional and of some assistance to our talented colleagues comprising the software and information technology industry and profession. Each of us within the profession is a critical component in the inherent success formula. Taken towards the extreme, Inherent Quality could be the key to managing inherent risk, as well as the key to ensuring means exist to inherently add value while more inherently ensuring compliance from many perspectives. Of course, every journey has its potential challenges, and as a profession we are young and still only beginning to understand and document, frameworks and other means for things like technology innovation, software quality, excellence, capability maturity, life cycle services, collaborative quality assurance-control, inherent quality improvement-management and so on. In fact, we are only really starting to have a sea, sky and interconnected universe of enrichment as a result of the hard work of many to this juncture in our evolution.
A special thanks we therefore extend to all contributors of the Internet: a virtual gateway to exploring, understanding and adding to the steadily developing software and information technology industry and profession’s DNA genes from A (accountability) to Z (zero defects)…
