3. Project Quality Management
• Includes the processes and activities of the performing organization that
determine quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities so that the
project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken.
• It implements the quality management system through policy and procedures with
continuous process improvement activities conducted throughout, as
appropriate.
Plan Quality
• Plan Quality
– Identifying quality requirements and/or standards for the project and
product.
• Perform Quality Assurance
– Auditing the quality requirements and the results from quality control
measurements to ensure appropriate quality standards
• Perform Quality Control
– Monitoring and recording results of executing the quality activities to assess
performance and recommend necessary changes.

5. Quality vs. Grade
• Quality
Quality is the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics
fulfill requirements
• Grade
Grade is a category assigned to products or services having the
same functional use but different technical characteristics
same functional use but different technical characteristics
( while failing to meet quality requirements is always a problem, low
grade may not be)
• Project manager and project management team are
responsible for determining and delivering the required level
of both quality and grade

6. Modern Quality
• Customer satisfaction
– Understanding, evaluating, defining, and managing expectations so that
customer requirements are met
( conformance to requirements & fitness for use )
• Prevention over inspection
– The cost of preventing mistakes is generally much less than the cost of
correcting them
(quality is planned, designed, and built in not inspected in)
(quality is planned, designed, and built in not inspected in)
• Continuous improvement (Kaizen)
– alter (Kai) and improve (Zen)
– TQM and Six Sigma, should improve the quality of the project’s management
as well as the quality of the project’s product.

Cost of Quality ( Tools Techniques)
• All costs incurred in preventing nonconformance to
requirements, and failing to meet requirements (rework).
• Failure costs are often categorized into
Internal (found by the project) and
External (found by the customer).
• Failure costs are also called cost of poor quality.
