Unicorn - Turnkey Provider
Unicorn provides a turnkey program offering thus

proven ability to deliver the program deliverables
for a fixed price.
Unicorn consolidates the responsibilities of

What is Quality
Quality is the sum of the
characteristics of the
capability with which the

implicit requirements.

Quality in Unicorn Projects
Project quality refers to the degree to which
the ‘entities’, such as preparation before
equipment arrival, and the project stages
from unpacking, installation, test – to
acceptance and cutover, can satisfy the
requirements during the process of project
implementation of project deliverables.

• Exist in each step
