- 4. Our Sponsor – Keith Price Keith Price leads the quality team at Agilent’s Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis group (LSCA), with responsibilities for its quality management system, business process metrics system, and customer loyalty. He joined HP/Agilent in 1984 as an electronic engineer and then moved into a variety of quality consulting and management roles. He holds a master’s degree in quality systems management from Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland.
- 5. Our Sponsor – Michael McCaffrey Trained as a chemist and worked for many years engaged in liquid crystal research and development. Economic, business and personal changes at the time caused me to reevaluate my career choices and I retrained in the computer science field. Michael McCaffrey have spent the last 20 years in a variety of process development, process improvement efforts - lifecycle creation, inspections implementations, measurement efforts, cost/estimation improvements, quality championing, etc.
- 6. Agilent’s Existing System Agilent does not have a system implemented Therefore we are using VMWARE, which will present portability
- 7. Sponsor Requirements of Project To design a webpage that can be accessed by the Life Sciences & Chemical Analysis team at Agilent Technologies (the webpage will allow them to log into their database) A webpage will actually query these items: 1. What Product 2. Which Phase it is in 3. The Product Name 4. Product Number 5. Version 6. Manager in Charge of Product 7. Whether it’s Hardware, Software, or Chemical 8. Product Description To develop a simple database to query products that are released and in development. We are to track different phases of each research and development product of Agilent Technologies: Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis Department with product release date and financial project.
- 8. Key Functions of Our Product & Deliverables The functional aspects of this particular database will track hardware, software, and chemical analysis. It will track phases and all deliverables of the department and project a simple website interface.

- 11. Key Functions of Our Product & Deliverables (cont.) Our deliverables are: Tracking Database - We are implementing one database that tracks deliverables of each phase of every product life-cycle. It will need to be a form where information about the product and its status can be entered. Web Page – Queries the following items What product Which phase it is in The product name Product Number Version Manager in charge of product Whether it’s Hardware, Software, or Chemicals Product Description

- 30. Obstacles Major obstacles we faced were from the Risk analysis: The team’s skill level severity was 15 which was considered moderate, and was a moderate issue. The difficulty in arranging team meetings, severity was at 15 moderate, but it was difficult in coordinating with sponsors the most. Problems synergizing with sponsors. The contingency of group tension was met but there were some internal failures to meet deadlines on to-dos because of group tensions and lack of qualification.
