Introduction
Project Quality Management includes the processes & activities that determine quality polices, objectives & responsibilities to ensure that the project satisfies the needs for which it is undertaken.
PQM
Plan Quality :
identify quality requirements and standards
Document how to demonstrate compliance
Perform Quality Assurance ( QA ) :
Auditing the quality requirements
Ensure appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are used
Perform Quality Control :
Monitor and record results
Assess performance
Recommend necessary change
Implementation of PQM
These processes interact with each other as well as with the processes of other knowledge areas
Each process involves an effort of one or more individual or group of individuals based on the need of the project.
Each process occurs at least once in every project phase during the project life cycle.
Definitions of Quality (External)
Transcendent definition: Excellence
Product-based definition: Quantities of product attributes
User-based definition: Fitness for intended use
Value-based definition: Quality vs. Price
Manufacturing-based definition: Conformance to specifications
Quality versus Grade
Quality & Grade are not the same..
Quality : Degree to which a set of characteristics fulfill requirements
Grade : Category assigned to products or services having the same functional use but different technical characteristics
While a quality level that fails to meet quality requirements is always a problem, low grade may not be
Precision versus Accuracy
Precision and Accuracy are not equivalent..
Precision : repeated measurements are clustered and have little scatter
Accuracy : measured value is very close to the true value
Precise measurements are not necessarily accurate
PQM Approach compatibility
Compatible with ISO 9000 and 1000 series of standard guidelines
Proprietary approaches to quality as recommended by Deming, Juran, and Crosby, and others.
Nonproprietary approaches such as TQM, Continuous improvement approaches and others.
Nature of PQM
Project quality management must address both the management of the project and the product of the project.
Failure to meet quality requirements in either dimension can have serious and negative consequences for any or all of the project stakeholders
Examples of Negative Consequences
Meeting the customer requirement by over working the project team may lead to negative consequence in employee turnover
Meeting project schedules by rushing planned quality inspections may produce negative consequences when errors go undetected.
Common understanding
Customer Satisfaction :
Conformance to requirements
Fitness for use
Prevention over inspection : cost of preventing mistakes is generally less than the cost of correcting
Continuous improvement
(plan – do – check – act )
TQM & Six Sigma
Management responsibility
QUALITY PLANNING
Quality planning
Quality Planning involves identifying with quality standards
It is a key facilitating process during the Project planning Process
In modern quality management quality is planned in and not inspected in
Prior to the development of ISO 9000 series, quality planning concepts were widely discussed as part of quality assurance.
Quality Planning Inputs
Scope Baseline
Scope statement: contain details of technical issues and other concerns
WBS: identifies deliverables, work packages and control accounts used to measure project performance
WBS Dictionary: defines technical information for WBS elements
Quality Planning Inputs
2) Stakeholder Register

Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
1) Cost / Benefit analysis
The planning process must consider benefit/cost tradeoffs
The Primary Cost: Is the expanses associated with PQM activities
The Primary Benefit: Is less work, higher productivity, lower costs, and increased stakeholder satisfaction
Note: it is elementary that the benefit should outweigh the cost
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
2) Cost of Quality ( COQ )
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
3) Control charts
To determine whether or not a process is stable or has predictable performance.
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
4) Benchmarking
Benchmarking involves comparing actual or planned project practices to those of other projects to generate ideas to:
1- Generate ideas for improvement
2- provide a standard for measurement of performance
Note: other projects compared may be within the same organization or out side and may be within the same application area or in another
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
5) Design of Experiments DOE
Aims to define variables that have most influence on the overall outcome
Commonly applicable to the product of the project issues.
Used in project management issues such as cost and schedule tradeoffs to allow for optima solutions.
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
6) Statistical Sampling
Choosing part of a population of interest for inspection
Sample frequency and sizes should be determined during the plan quality process
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
7) Flowcharting
The flowcharting techniques in quality management generally include
cause and effect diagram
System or process flow charts
Flowcharting can help in anticipating probable quality problems and thus helps to develop approaches for dealing with them
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
8) Quality Management Methodologies
Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Quality Function Deployment, CMMI, etc
Tools and Techniques for Quality Planning
9) Additional Quality Planning Tools
Brainstorming
Affinity diagrams
Nominal group techniques
Matrix diagrams
Prioritization matrices
Force field analysis

QUALITY CONTROL
Quality Control
The process of monitoring and recording results of executing the quality activities to assess performance and recommend necessary change
Quality control is often performed by a quality control department
The project management team should have a working knowledge of statistical quality control especially sampling and probability to help evaluate and control outputs.
Quality Control
The project management should be aware of the following among other subjects:
Prevention ( keeping errors out of the process)
Inspection (keeping errors out of the customers hand )
Attribute sampling (for conformity of results)
Variable sampling (where the results are rated on a continuous scale that measures the degree of conformity or non conformity
Tolerances ( specified range of acceptable results )
Control limits ( thresholds, which can indicate whether the process is out of control )
