The Sqa Specialist Feels He Needs To Show Some Results During The Next 6 To 9 Months. What Advice Will You Give Him?

Answer»

Start with a risk assessment, to identify the significant software risks and their business IMPLICATIONS. Identify managers directly affected by these implications, who may be recruited as allies. 
Select a small number of issues to ADDRESS in the INITIAL phase. Try to include some QUICK wins, as well as some IMPROVEMENTS that could be achieved within 3-6 months. 
Don't try to do everything at once. At this stage, use whichever model you prefer (ISO 9000-3 or TickIT or SW-CMM or SPICE) merely as a framework, so that you know how what you?re doing fits into a larger picture.
