Project Quality
Management
Introduction
Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is
consistent. Quality management is focused not only on product and
service quality, but also on the means to achieve it. Quality
management, therefore, uses quality assurance and control of processes
as well as products to achieve more consistent quality.
Project Quality Management
Project Quality Management includes the
processes and activities of the performing
organization that determines quality policies,
objectives, and responsibilities so that the
project will satisfy the needs for which it was
undertaken

Overview of the PQM
Plan Quality Management
Process of identifying quality requirements
and standards for the project and its
deliverables and documenting how the
project will demonstrate compliance with
quality requirements.

Cost-Benefit
Analysis10
A cost-benefit analysis for each quality activity
compares the cost of the quality step to the
expected benefit.
Cost of Quality (COQ)

(Build a quality
product)
• Training
• Document processes
• Equipment
• Time to do it right
Appraisal Costs
(Assess the quality)
• Testing
• Destructive
testing loss
Cost of non-
Conformance
Internal Failure Costs
(Failures found by the
project)

.3 Process analysis
Quality Assurance (QA) is concerned with establishing, evaluating ,
improving and maintaining the quality of the processes. Once
processes are consistent, QA "assure" thatthe same level of quality
will be incorporated into each product produced by that process by
use of different tools and techniques.

(PDPC)
3. Interrelationship digraphs
4. Tree diagrams
5. Prioritization matrices
6. Activity network diagrams
7. Matrix diagrams
I. Steps to Create Affinity Diagrams
STEP 1
Write each idea
on a separate
index card
STEP 2
Randomly place
each index cardon
flat surface. Wall
board or flipchart
In silence, team
members move the
cards into
meaningful groups
until the group
stops moving the
cards.
STEP 4
As a team,
discuss and then
label each
category with a
title
STEP 5
As a team, discuss
Each category,
Using cause-and
Effect diagrams, if
needed.
It is an orderly extension of a structured brainstorming session to generate
ideas
STEP 3
II. Steps to Create
PDPC
• Develop a tree diagram of the proposed plan
• For each task on the third level, brainstorm what could go wrong
• Review all the potential problems and eliminate any that are insignificant
1

3
4
• For each potential problem, brainstorm possible countermeasures
5
• Decide how practical each countermeasure is. Use criteria such as cost, time
required, ease of implementation and effectiveness. Mark impractical
countermeasures with an X and practical ones with an O.
systematically identifies what might go wrong in a plan under development. By
using PDPC, you can either revise the plan to avoid the problems or be ready with
the best response when a problem occurs.
III. How to Construct an Interrelationship Digraph
1. Create a
Problem
Statement
2. Brainstorm
Ideas
3. Determine
Relationships
Between
Ideas
4. Analyze
the Diagram
Show cause-and-effect relationships, and help analyze the natural links
between different aspects of a complex situation
IV. Tree diagrams and Prioritization Matrices
It is used to figure out all the various tasks that must be undertaken to achieve a
given objective
Delay of Bridge

materials

project scheduling methodologies
 Activity on arrow
 Activity on node
 Can be used for review technique
(PERT), critical path method (CPM) &
precedence diagramming method
(PDM).
VII.Matrix diagrams –used to perform data
analysis within the organizational structure
 show the strength of relationships between
factors, causes, and objectives that exist
between the rows and columns of matrix

 Structured, independent process to determine if project
activities comply with organizational and project policies,
processes, and procedures.
 can confirm the implementation of approved change requests
including updates, corrective actions, defect repairs, and preventive
actions.

identify needed improvements.
 examines problems experienced, constraints experienced, and non-
value-added activities identified during process operation.
