Definition of Exit CriteriaExit Criteria answers the questions:- How do I know that I am finished with a task or completed with an objective?- What are the requirements/standards that I must refer to if I were to show someone that I have completed all of my work accurately?Characteristics of Exit Criteria- States what results or items must be contained in a delivered product, i.e. the results of having completed a process- States for each specified result or item, the "Standard of Acceptance" associated with each item A Standard of Acceptance states what would satisfy the desired level of quality of each result A Standard of Acceptance must be stated in a binary manner, thereby allowing anyone to objectively judge whether a result has been met or not Each Standard of Acceptance must have an associated standard so that someone could be shown that the standard was in fact metOperational Definition of Entry/Exit CriteriaOperationally, Entry/Exit Criteria can be determined by asking about the completeness and accuracy of an operation's output- Completeness is a set of statements defining all the items that make up a finished document. Each statement becomes an "item" in the exit criteria- Accuracy, the standards of acceptance for each item, is a combination of two statements: The definitive source of information, conditions, or rules for data found in the document being considered The standard that defines how that information is to be formatted or depictedExample (My Presentations)A Context For the DefinitionsFagan's "The Interrelated Elements of a Process"Formal Process DefinitionsObjectives- Products and/or services that must be delivered by the process- What is to be accomplished? What products must be delivered from the process? What services must be delivered from the process? What process constraints must be met to satisfy objectives? Budget? Schedule? Head-Count? Hardware Resources? Software Resources?Objectives must be documentedFormal Process Definitions (cont.)Entry Criteria: For each objective,- Items required to commence the process, and- Standard of acceptance for each itemExit Criteria: For each objective,- Items to be delivered by the process, and- Standard of acceptance for each itemFunction: For each objective,- Specific tasks/activities executed Converting input items to output items Input items must conform to entry criteria Output items will conform to exit criteria Ensuring all objectives & process constraints are metEntry/Exit Criteria Definition and Examples A.
