In this chapter below the Jira setup for Information Systems Jira-projects is explained.

J-sox compliance

J-SOX requires Japanese companies to enhance internal control reporting and demonstrate the effectiveness of their internal controls

To be J-SOX compliant, Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. will need to demonstrate 4 primary security controls in a yearly audit:

  • Secure Access Control Management. 
  • Demonstrate a Resilient Cybersecurity Framework. 
  • Demonstrate Data Backup Protocols. 
  • Change Management.

For Information Systems Division Controls will be integrated in the Jira workflows:

  • Secure Access Control Management: new user accounts must be registered and logged in Jira. Users manager need to be informed and included in the ticket.
  • Secure Access Control Management: all user authorization changes for Business applications (Ympact, SYS2000, YLS) must be logged in Jira.
    Approval for new authorization(s) is required from IT management (division manager, department manager, team lead).
  • Change management: approval (SQL's) by IT management (division manager, department manager, team lead)
  • Change management: Role segregation for development and testing. Developer does not test their own developed code.
  • Change management: Deployment approval request by IT management (division manager, department manager, team lead).
  • Change management: Deployments can only be performed by authorized roles (division manager, department manager, Team lead, Product Owner, Delivery manager).
  • Change management: Agile teams must met the organizations set Definition of Done. This is done via a checklist for issues moved to ready for Deployment.

Beforehand it is not known if a database correction or program change is required, to prevent delay in resolving reported requests the users manager is automatically added to the request (Jira issue/ticket).
YME and distributor users are directly synchronized in Jira with Active directory including users manager. The users manager is added via a automation after request creation. 
Active directory is maintained by Servicedesk.

In a future state for 2023 only the Jira Projects in black text above will remain for Information Systems.

  • Yamaha Applications Support Desk (SD) captures all requests from end-users, who experience difficulties with their day-to-day use of IT applications. These items are validated, then if valid resolved as soon as possible.
  • Yamaha IS Projects (YIS) captures all work of scrum teams in the Agile Transformation. These processes are being streamlined to support scrum processes, and make Jira a tool for collaboration more than administration.
  • B2C-Apps (B2C) captures all work for B2C /EPAM team(s) working with waterfall methodology. Processes are being streamlined with new Yamaha way of working.
  • Yamaha Portfolio Board (YPM) collects all ideas for IT initiatives, and validates the business case and expected rewards for implementing such initiatives before assigning work to development teams. It's very much about preparing work.
  • Other Software delivery projects capture work for teams that have not yet joined the Agile Transformation and will be phased out when moved to YIS.
  • Yamaha Motor next Stage Project (EUYNS) Yamaha Motor Next Stage Projects (YNS) has been setup as supporting platform to check the progress between YMC and PwC at the same time in the YNS project.

In due time, Information Systems teams working in Jira Software projects will be onboarded to the YIS project, so this can become our mutually agreed way of working for Software delivery.
Any team joining will be coached through the (Agile) transition and will be able to provide input on unique ways of working that will need to be integrated. Together we will make it a success.
For now, these Information Systems projects will keep on using their current of way of working. With time and proper preparation, they will migrate into YIS. 

The Change Advisory Board (CAB) captures approval of fixes and creation of a functional/technical conceptional design document , this will be phased out completely as it will be covered by the Yamaha Portfolio Board and Software project(s).
