Continuous Improvement

From MIKE2.0 Methodology

The Continuous Improvement Activities of MIKE2.0 are focused on delivering incremental improvements to existing functionality. Continuous Improvement may involve minor changes or may initiate significant pieces of work. Significant pieces of work would generally involve taking the scope defined as part of Continuous Improvement and going back to Phase 3 for its implementation.

The Continuous Improvement Activities of MIKE2.0 cover:

• Auditing

• Standards, Policies and Processes

• Data Quality

• Infrastructure

• Organisation

Planning for Continuous Improvement is the key. Oftentimes projects stop funding after they have been implemented into production, or only set aside funding for warranty or future functional enhancements. Continuous Improvement should be explicitly planned for each implementation increment.
