Quality Management Plan • The desired approach to project quality (CoQ) • The QA and QC roles and responsibilities of project team members • The quality criteria grid (in Scope document) • Assumptions and constraints • Lessons learned • A detailed breakdown of each quality item (additional Quality plans – in the PMP)
Carrying out Quality Control Pareto Chart
Carrying out Quality Control Others • Benchmarking • Process/Flow Charting
Key Terms • benchmarking • Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) • checklists • check sheet • Cost of Quality (CoQ) • fishbone (cause–effect) diagram • integration of quality • ISO 9001 • LEAN • Pareto chart • Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) • process and flow charts • quality assurance • quality control • Quality Management Plan • run chart • Six Sigma • Total Quality Management (TQM)
