The Design FMEA (DFMEA) has been used for many years to manage hardware design risk.  This has led to improvements is hardware designs and increased efficiency in their development.  Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for using the DFMEA for managing software design risk.

 The purpose of this webinar is to describe how to use the DFMEA to manage risk related to the software design that controls the hardware as well as software design when no hardware is involved.  The expected benefits of the use of Software DFMEAs is improved software designs and decreased software development time.  The webinar will cover:

1.       Definition of software related risk and how it is eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels;

2.       Four objectives of the Software DFMEA;

3.       Software DFMEA basics;

4.       Using Software DFMEAs with Scrum.
