What is the program development process?


1. PLANNING
The Planning stage is the stage where programmers decide and define the
tasks that should be performed by the program. This involves identifying the
O

problem, defining the problem in simpler terms, identifying the program


requirements (inputs, outputs the formulas needed), and finally, planning for the
solution.
SD

2. PROGRAM DESIGN
This stage deals with the flow of the program, the way it should produce
output and gather inputs, the interface or the working environment of the
program, and how it should be used. In planning and designing the program,
you need to have an understanding of the logic behind the programs
performance. You also need to be knowledgeable in the
theory, algorithms, pseudocodes, and flowcharts.
3. CODING
It is the process of expressing the fully detailed algorithm to a standard high-
level programming language. This stage of program development requires
following the rules of format and syntax (vocabulary, grammar and punctuation.

9
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

This stage requires an extensive knowledge in the programming language he


will use. Coding is the act of actual writing of the computer program. It means
generating the “source code” in the language of the programmer’s choice. A
computer program is generated through the source code.
4. TESTING & DEBUGGING
The Testing Stage is where the programmer makes sure that the program
performs the way it is intended. Programs are tested by running them and

AS
observing the output they produce. The process of correcting mistakes in a
program is called debugging.
5. PROGRAM TESTING
This is the stage in which the programmer run their programs to discover if

G
it is free from syntactical and logical errors thus making it capable of doing what
it was intended for.
6. DOCUMENTATION
AN
It is the detailed description of a program’s algorithm, design, coding
method, testing and proper usage. Documentation usually includes the
necessary information about the requirements of the program – the operating
system, and hardware requirements needed for the program to run.
T
7. MAINTENANCE
The final stage in programming is in maintaining or updating the program.
BA

This is the stage where the programmer is tasked to keep the program running
smoothly and updated with the developments and changes in the field where it
is used.

The Model for Improvement

The Model for Improvement (MFI) is the most commonly used QI approach

10
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

The MFI uses a rapid cycle process called Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycles to
test the effects of small changes, make them, and ultimately spread the effective
changes through the practice or organization. The MFI begins by asking three simple
questions:

• What are we trying to accomplish?


• How will we know that a change is an improvement?
What changes can we make that will result in improvement?

AS

Quality improvement teams then introduce and test changes designed to


achieve the improvement aims using successive PDSA cycles until they arrive on a
change they believe will produce the desired results and is ready for implementation
and spread. This process is depicted in the figure below.

Participate in process improvement procedures relative to workplace


assignment

1. Communicate your process improvement initiatives Establish a plan to


keep your process management efforts top-of-mind with staff. Use a variety of
vehicles, from emails to newsletter articles to lunchroom posters, to maintain
consistent communications.

2. Recognize the efforts of your process heroes


To maintain interest among users, it’s important to give recognition where
recognition is due. That can mean instituting easy-to-run acknowledgements

11

SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

like the user of the month, the most innovative improvement suggestion, or
the process of the week.

3. Upskill your employees


Ensure that workers have proper training, ongoing support, and the resources
they need to get involved with continuous improvement initiatives.

4. Promote having fun

AS
Recognize that staff engagement in process improvement can be difficult to
maintain. Make an effort to proactively address this challenge in a fun way.

5. Lead from the front


There is a lot to be said for senior management buy-in, but you also need

G
‘process bulldogs’ on the ground to lead the charge for process improvement.

6. Encourage collaboration
AN
Process improvement is a team effort, so it is essential to let everyone know
“we’re in this together”.

7. Integrate into business as usual


Embed process information into daily activities and other business systems,
T
like the company intranet, to drive employee engagement.
BA

8. Make staff accountable


Give staff the autonomy and resources they need to map, review, and
ultimately own their own processes and improvement ideas. This will have a
major impact on process engagement.

9. Understand there will always be room for improvement


O

To maintain engagement with process improvement initiatives, it is essential


for organizations to recognize that the work will never be done. It really is a
journey.
SD

Carry out work in accordance with process improvement procedures

What are Policies and Procedures?

Policies and procedures go hand-in-hand but are not interchangeable.

A policy is a set of general guidelines that outline the organization’s plan for
tackling an issue. Policies communicate the connection between the organization’s
vision and values and its day-to-day operations.

12
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

A procedure explains a specific action plan for carrying out a policy.


Procedures tells employees how to deal with a situation and when.

Using policies and procedures together gives employees a well-rounded view


of their workplace. They know the type of culture that the organization is striving for,
what behavior is expected of them and how to achieve both of these.

AS
Monitor performance of operation or quality of product or service to ensure
customer satisfaction

The key to effective quality monitoring includes six crucial steps:

G
1. Listen to your customers by monitoring interactions. Ask questions such as:
are these interactions related to the company’s goals and objectives, or are
AN
they related to specific areas of concern such as customer attrition? This is
where analytics comes into play for the contact center. Speech analytics
identifies calls that are relevant for evaluation and text analytics identifies
email and chat interactions that should be monitored.
2. Capture all of your customer feedback channels. Apply the same quality
standard that is used for calls to text-based interactions like email and chat.
T
3. Ask your customer what they think. Instead of using your organization’s
internal metrics to measure the quality of a call, ask the customer: “What did
BA

you think of your experience and the agent you worked with?” or “Did your
service experience match the promise made in our advertising?” It’s very
important to map high-quality interactions with your customers’
expectations, comparing internal evaluation scores with customer scores.
4. Use quality monitoring to help agents improve skills. Evaluate interactions
to identify skills gaps, and provide individual learning opportunities where
O

there are deficiencies.


5. Do not view agent development as a one-off activity. Provide continuous
coaching that will help improve agent performance and productivity.
SD

Coaching is key to consistent customer service.


6. Measure your results and keep track of continuous feedback and evaluation
to monitor and measure progress.

Here are 6 steps to develop a quality control process:


1. Set your quality standards.
In some industries, you may have to meet quality standards set by an
outside body, such as an industry association, the local health and safety
inspector, or a government regulatory agency. In others, there aren't any
official quality standards, so you'll need to set your own.

13
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Each department of your business will have different quality control standards.
However, they must all be objectively measurable. For example

 Answering all customer calls by the second ring


 Responding to all customer service emails within four hours
 Resolving customer service problems in five minutes or less

AS
2. Decide which quality standards to focus on.
Of course, you want to ensure quality in all aspects of your operation.
However, begin by focusing on the most important measures — those that have
the biggest effect on your profits and your customer experience. This will enable
you to get results quickly and also keeps you and your team from becoming

G
overwhelmed.
AN
For instance, if you own a restaurant, keeping the restrooms clean is
definitely something to monitor in your quality control program—but not the
most important thing. Getting orders out to customers quickly and accurately is
a more important standard because it has a more direct effect on the quality of
experience and customer satisfaction.
T
3. Create operational processes to deliver quality.
BA

W. Edwards Deming, the founder of modern quality control, believed that


well-designed processes lead to high-quality products and services. If you
create good processes, continually measure the results of the processes, and
work to consistently improve the process, your product or service will get better
and better.
O

Starting with your critical operations, create step-by-step processes that


include benchmarks. For instance, in a B2B company's accounting department,
operational processes might require preparing and delivering invoices within 24
SD

hours after a job is completed or a product is delivered. In a restaurant,


operational processes might require servers to pick up food for delivery to the
customer’s table within two minutes of it being prepared.

4. Review your results.


Most business software, from financial and accounting apps to customer
relationship management or customer service tools, lets you customize the
information you collect and use dashboards to view it at a glance. Review your
data regularly to see how well your company is meeting its quality standards.

5. Get feedback.

14
Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
REGION IV-A CALABARZON
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF BATANGAS

Use measurable feedback from external sources, such as customer


surveys, online ratings and reviews and net promoter scores (NPS), to get a
fuller picture of product and service quality. Also, get regular feedback from
employees. How well are the operational processes working to deliver quality?
How could they be improved?

6. Make improvements.

AS
Once you’re meeting your quality control standards, don't stop there. For
example, if you own a residential cleaning service business and you can cut the
time it takes your maids to clean a home by 25 percent, you’ll be able to handle
25 percent more business without hiring any additional employees. That will
really boost your bottom line.

G
No matter how well your processes are running, quality control shows
AN
there's always room for improvement, and making small changes can pay off in
big ways.
