6. Quality Management Method

[Use the following sections to identify the project quality plan components or modify these sections to meet your needs.]
Managing project quality requires an approved quality plan encompassing three major quality processes defined in Section
6.1. The quality plan is developed and approved during the project planning phase to confirm major deliverables/milestone
acceptance criteria and manage approved project processes.
6.1 Quality Plan Processes
• Quality Assurance
Quality assurance activities focus on the processes being used to manage and deliver the solution to evaluate overall
project performance on a regular basis. Quality assurance is a method to ensure the project will satisfy the quality
standards and will define and record quality reviews, test performance, and customer acceptance.
• Quality Control
Quality control activities are performed continually to verify that project management and project deliverables are
of high quality and meet quality standards. Quality assurance also helps uncover causes of unsatisfactory results and
establish lessons learned to avoid similar issues in this and other projects.
• Project Deliverables and Processes Acceptance Criteria
Project team members and key stakeholders agree at the project planning stage on formal project processes and
major deliverable acceptance criteria that will be used to evaluate final deliverable results before the results are
formally approved.

9. Project Quality Assurance

Quality assurance helps to establish if a deliverable is acceptable based on the processes used to create it. Quality assurance
processes are used to evaluate overall project performance frequently and to determine that quality reviews were held,
deliverables tested, and customer acceptance acquired. e.g.
The focus of quality assurance is on the processes used in the project. Quality assurance ensures that project processes are used
effectively to produce quality project outputs and results. It involves following and meeting standards, continuously improving
project work, and correcting project defects.
Some of the issues to be in consideration are as follow:
• The project processes subject to quality assurance.
• The quality standards and stakeholder expectations for that process.
• The quality assurance activity – e.g., quality audit or reviews, code review – that will be
• executed to monitor that project processes are properly followed.
• How often or when the quality assurance activity will be performed.
• The name of the person responsible for carrying out and reporting on the quality assurance activity.
9.1 Quality Assurance Procedures
[List the major quality assurance activities and processes that the project will include.]
9.2 Project Monitoring Processes
[Define the monitoring and control processes planned for the project and how they will satisfy project quality standards and
ensure project quality. Specify how the quality manager will obtain project-related information and how that information will
be used to control the process.]
