3.0Achieving Project Quality
There are three key components to a comprehensive Quality Management (QM) plan; Quality Planning, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control. The following sections define how this project will apply each of these practice groups to define, monitor and control quality standards.
3.1Quality Planning
[Quality Planning is the process of determining what quality standards are relevant to the project, what measures of quality will be used and what criteria will be used to determine if project quality is satisfied. Identify and define these standards which are required for the project: processes, system functionality, regulatory compliance requirements, deliverables, project management performance, documentation, testing, etc. i.e The project team will perform an audit checkpoint at each project gate.]
3.2Quality Assurance (Process Quality)
[Identify and define those actions, and the metrics to measure them, that provide the confidence that project quality is in fact being met and has been achieved. Relate these actions to the quality standards defined in the planning section of this document. Identify the deliverables and acceptance criteria that need to be met in the table below]
Deliverable / Acceptance Criteria(Example) Develop/Refine Project Plan / An audit of the Project Plan content and updates will be performed before the successful completion of each gate.
3.3Quality Control
[Quality control processes specifically assess project deliverables as they are being defined, designed, built and used to ensure they map to defined quality standards and variance tolerances. Identify those monitoring and controlling actions that will be conducted to control quality throughout the project’s life. Define how it will be determined that quality standards comply with the defined standards outlined earlier in this document. Identify owners of ongoing monitoring and improvement of project processes.i.e Project reviews serve as quality checkpoints for the project product quality.]
