Quality-Focused Analysis
Refine the results from the risk-based review (Step 3) using qualitative analysis tools. Focus only on the quality attributes where the LASR result diagram doesn’t feel right.

Determine the Focus
The review result from Step 3 may sometimes misrepresent the true scale of problems or quality goal achievement. Look at the spider chart—does it spark a gut feeling? Focus on quality goal axes where the gaps seem too large, too small, or controversial.
In-Depth Analysis
A deep dive into a quality goal axis involves refining expectations with quality statements, identifying new risks, and evaluating their root causes. To structure this process and capture the findings, LASR provides a specially designed template.
Quantify the Findings
The in-depth analysis may adjust the gap for a quality goal axis or even create one by uncovering new risks. It can also reveal overachievement, which isn’t always beneficial, as trade-offs may negatively impact other quality goals.
