This is why it has become necessary even for all companies to use time-tested quality improvement techniques such as Six Sigma.
There are many Six Sigma tools that can be used for managing projects, but the tool that is most commonly utilized by IT companies is the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This tool is used for unraveling potential fault lines within the product design, allowing developers to get a glimpse of things to come and consequently focus their efforts on eliminating the potential bugs or defects say for example...
This tool is quite effective because it can be utilized for managing almost all types of projects including product development, product enhancement, and product maintenance.

IT companies that are using FMEA first need to identify all the different ways in which the selected product, service or process could go wrong. After identifying all the potential defects, the project team then tries to assess the probability of each defect, something that is referred to as "occurrence".

* Upon determination of a preliminary process understanding
* Upon definition of system functions are defined, prior to selection of hardware
* Upon definition of product functions, prior to design approval and release.
Now in an organizational set up we have got different types of FEMA for different types of organization...
* Process FMEA
* System FMEA
* Design FMEA
