Build a Quality Metrics Program for a Medical-Device Software Team
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Read the team's QMS (Quality Management System) documents and the IEC 62304 software lifecycle requirements. Design a metric catalog of 12-15 metrics covering process (review-coverage, defect-removal-efficiency, requirements traceability completeness) and product (defect-density per KLOC, defect-arrival rate, escaped defect rate). Build a Metabase dashboard pulling from GitHub + Jira + ALM tooling (Polarion or equivalent). Run a 4-week pilot with 2 of the 5 squads. Produce an IEC 62304 traceability document mapping each metric to a clause. Deliver metric catalog, dashboard, 4-week pilot report, and IEC 62304 mapping.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design and pilot a quality-metrics program for a 38-person medical-device software team with IEC 62304 traceability.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a quality-metrics catalog aligned with IEC 62304
- Distinguish process metrics from product metrics with care
- Build a dashboard that auditors and engineers both trust
- Pilot a metrics program without it becoming a leaderboard
