Project Quality Management
• Quality is degree to which the project fulfills requirements
• Quality Management includes creating and following policies and
procedures to ensure that a project meet the defined needs (from the
customer’s perspective).
• Completing project with no deviations from the project requirements.

4.
Quality Concepts
• Quality vs. Grade
– Quality: the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfill
requirements
– Quality level that fails to meet quality requirements is always a
PROBLEM
– Grade: a category assigned to product or service having the same
functional use but different technical characteristics
– Low grade may not be a problem

CROSBY, Philip
 Performance standard is
“Zero defect “
 Cost of quality is measured
by cost of non-
conformance
 Conformance to
requirements
 Quality comes from
Prevention

Important points
• Customer satisfaction
• Conformance to requirement
• Fitness for use: product/service produced must satisfy real needs
• Prevention over inspection
• Cost of preventing mistakes < cost of correcting
• Quality is planned not inspected in
• Continuous improvement (Kaizen)
• Based on PDCA cycle
• Management Responsibility
• Success requires the participation of all members of the project team,
•but remains the responsibility of management to provide the resources needed to
succeed.

Difference Between Quality Processes
Quality Planning Quality Assurance Quality Control
Planning Implementation Control
Determine which quality
standards are relevant
and how to measure
them
Determine if the quality
measurement is relevant
Perform the
measurement and
compare to the plan

8.
Plan Quality
• The process of identifying requirement and/or standards
for the project and product and documenting how the
project will demonstrate compliance.

Cost-Benefit Analysis
-The primary benefits of
meeting quality requirements
can include less rework, higher
productivity, and increased
stakeholder satisfaction.
- A business case for each
quality activity compares the
cost of the quality step to the
expected benefit.

10.
Cost of Quality
• Cost of quality (CoQ)
– Looking at what the cost of conformance and
nonconformance to quality and creating an appropriate
balance

Control charts
Upper control limit
Lower control limit
Out of control
Assignable/special cause
Specification limit: is
point determines by
customer, not calculated
based on control chart
Normal and expected variation
Usually 3 or 6 sigma
Rule of seven (non random data points)

12.
• Benchmarking
comparing actual or planned
project practices to those of
comparable projects to identify
best practices, generate ideas for
improvement, and provide a basis
for measuring performance.

13.
Design of Experiments
-provide the optimal conditions for the
product or process, highlight the factors
that influence the results
-reveal the presence of interactions and
synergy among the factors.

14.
Statistical Sampling
-choosing part of a population
of interest for inspection
- Sample frequency and sizes
should be determined

15.
Flowcharting
- graphical representation of a
process showing the relationships
among process steps

16.
• Proprietary Quality Management Methodologies
Three Sigma, Six Sigma,

17.
• Additional Quality Planning Tools
• Brainstorming
• • Affinity diagrams.
• • Force field analysis: which are
diagrams of the forces for and
against change.
• • Nominal group techniques

18.
Output
• Quality Management Plan
–Contains:
• Project management method
• Role and responsibility in managing quality
• Deliverable measurement
• Standard for monitoring & control purpose
• Process review
• Major check points
• Inspection & acceptance criteria

QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
Project Title: Date Prepared:
Quality Roles and Responsibilities:
Role: Responsibilities:
1.Initiate action to prevent the occurrence of non-conforming
work
2.Identify, evaluate, and document quality problems
3.Recommend or initiate quality improvement solutions
4.Stop the work when non-conforming work is identified, until
the deficiency is corrected
1. all personnel who manage, perform,
and ensure the quality of the work
Quality Assurance Approach:
Develop check list to ensure all activities is performed in right method.
Develop, implement, and manage the team in QA program ,
Provide training for the staff to ensure appropriate training quality procedures are in place, through pre-activity
meetings and daily on site reviews
Quality Control Approach:
Provide quality control sampling and testing to develop and refine work processes to meet quality requirements and
provide conformance to the contract, plans, and specifications.
b. Submit documentation to the PM on a daily basis as performed and needed
Quality Improvement Approach:
Observation the sequence of activities can make improving in sequencing
Comparing the actual performed work to plan making continuous improvement
Analyzing reasons of non- conforming work

21.
Quality metrics
An operational that describes
how quality control process
will measure it.
What are things that important
to measure and decide what
measurement is acceptable

22.
QUALITY METRICS

ID Item Metric Measurement Method
WBS or other
identifier.
Item to be measured. Measurement. Method of measuring.

• Quality checklists
– A list of items to inspect,
step to be performed and
note if any defects found
– Checklists range from
simple to complex
based on project
requirements and
practices.

25.
Process Improvement Plan
•Process boundaries.
Describes the purpose of processes, their start and end, their inputs/outputs, the
data required, the owner, and the stakeholders.
• Process configuration.
A graphic depiction of processes, with interfaces identified, used to facilitate
analysis.
• Process metrics.
Along with control limits, allows analysis of process efficiency.
• Targets for improved performance.
Guides the process improvement activities

– Six Sigma uses the
DMAIC steps as a road
map for improving
processes.
– There are only 5 steps.
– They are logical and
