Contents • JRA2: Quality objectives • Quality Management (QAM) people & mandate • Quality Group (QAG) people & mandate • Main steps done and on going • Next steps to be done French Federation meeting, Lyon, 11/06/04 - 2
JRA2: Quality objectives • Ensure that processes, products and operation services conform to EGEE requirements and to the required level of services. • QA will be present right from the start in all activities with commitments for all members. • QA is an iterative process with continuous measurements and refinements in order to improve the global quality system. • Measurements and metrics are needed to verify and prove that we deliver the quality that we must reach French Federation meeting, Lyon, 11/06/04 - 3
JRA2: QAM • The Quality Assurance Management team has a dedicated interface for each activity (3FTE): • Gabriel Zaquine - CSSI: QA head + NA1, NA5 & SA1 interface • Alberto Aimar - CERN: Deputy + JRA1 interface • Genevieve Romier – CNRS (half-time): SA2, JRA3 & JRA4 interface • Marcel Soberman – CNRS (half-time): NA2, NA3, NA4 interface • Elodie Sanchez - CNRS: Metric reports and associated tools • Mandate: Coordination of the overall Quality Activities French Federation meeting, Lyon, 11/06/04 - 5
QAG • The Quality Assurance Group has dedicated representative(s) (QAR) from each activity: • NA1/NA5: Bob Jones - CERN • NA3: Dave Berry - NESC • NA4: Vincent Breton - CNRS • SA1: Alistair Mills - CERN • SA2: Jean-Paul Gautier - CNRS • JRA1: Alberto Di Meglio – CERN • JRA3: Martjin Steenbakkers - NIKHEF • JRA4: Sophie Nicoud - CNRS • Mandate: • Make sure QA materials (procedures, metrics, tools, …) are provided by each activity • Make sure QA measures as defined are applied inside their activity • Promote QA materials and “production quality attitude” inside their activity • Monthly meeting (conf. Call) - First Friday of each month, 10:00 French Federation meeting, Lyon, 11/06/04 - 6
Main steps done and on going • Timesheet & reporting procedure: simpler timesheet – on going • PPT customisation for EGEE: on going • Risk Management procedure: on going • Review of the existing QA materials • Documentation plan, EDMS structure, activities web sites... • Preparation of the deliverable DJRA2.1 (Quality Plan) • each activity has identified its main procedures, main tools, metrics, verification means and checklists • each activity is writing its own Quality Plan • It defines the quality measures that shall apply within the Activity, throughout the project.

Crossgrid monitoring tools • The tools are now implemented on a UREC/CNRS server at CCIN2P3, Lyon • After LCG agreement, monitoring tests started • First results next slide. French Federation meeting, Lyon, 11/06/04 - 9
Next Steps to be done • Determination of the type of the metrics: (QAR within each activity) • “internal” use or “delivrable” use • the internal metrics should help the daily work of the activity • the “delivrable” metrics (indicators) are parts of the quaterly reports and should provide high level measurements from • Services provided & utilisation • Products provided • Project progress, effort, cost • International recognition • Organization of the verifications: (QAM and QAR) • all procedures and tools are really implemented and used • all metrics are really measured, collected • verification means and checklists correctly applied French Federation meeting, Lyon, 11/06/04 - 11
