Quality attribute and Quality attitude

 Quality attribute and Quality attitude                  By:  Mr. S.Varadarajan

There was an  interesting input sharing, during one of my train travels with a co passenger.
The topic was  very interesting for him. We both never shared each one's name as it so happens during a journey. We started with a question.

What is quality attribute and attitude?
Attitude is a settled way of thinking or feeling about something, whereas attribute is a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something. 

In team lending and deployment exercise it is very uncertain that the commitment will be fulfilled. This is because you are dealing with human beings. He or she may be having their own preferences.

We started digging further. So an attribute is a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of something, some one. In real life individuals’ posses’ various attributes. It is expected that one's best attribute is willingness to cooperate.

For Business, attribute is characteristics or feature of a product that is appealing to the customer. Can be reworked need be.

Attributes usually represent a product designer's or seller's perspective and not necessarily that of a customer. While in some Statistical techniques where numerical measurements cannot be made and therefore cannot be treated for quantitative input. 

Definitely, we are dealing with nouns in our day to day life. Humans need to be dealt with specially.

There, quality is judged by their attitude. Trainers and Mentors use the word body language to point out attitude in a person. Here we cannot bring out a commonality between product and a human. For product, you can setup for them to evolve, make millions, similar with same attributes with subtle variations as per the Customers' choice.

In human, this is not possible. each one is different and that is why it is called individual. Each one will have his strength and weakness.

So, direct match or alternate preference is not available.

In a team lending exercise a compromise in skill set and knowledge is often expected.
Whereas in a product of particular version it is standardized. Quality is within the set specifications and boundary.
 

We reached our destination. But without conclusion in our topic. Whatever quality attribute in human is attitude. Whereas in other nouns it is attribute.

Humans are exclusive. Not predictable. So how do you set up a standard. There are variations between twins.

While product attribute is Customer's choice. Attitude is individual's choice. Attitude and Attribute is an essential parameter either in corporate outlook or from social outlook.
