Quality Assurance
Quality assurance includes all the activities related to satisfying the relevant quality standards for a project
Another goal of quality assurance is continuous quality improvement
Benchmarking generates ideas for quality improvements by comparing specific project practices or product characteristics to those of other projects or products within or outside the performing organization A quality audit is a structured review of specific quality management activities that help identify lessons learned that could improve performance on current or future projects
Performed by in-house auditors or third parties
Quality Control
Although one of the main goals of QC is to improve quality, its main outcomes are:
Acceptance decisions- are the products/services acceptable or should they be rejected and rework is then necessary Rework action taken to bring rejected items into compliance with products specs. Can be very expensive Process adjustments correct or prevent further quality problems based on quality control measurements (purchase faster server if response time is too slow)
Fitness for use or Fitness for Service (FFS) Performance Safety Dependability
Customer Satisfaction (Meet/Exceed) Conformance to Requirements Continuous Improvement Management must also provide adequate resources to achieve objectives set forth in quality policy.
Project quality management ensures that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken Processes include:
Quality planning: identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and how to satisfy them Quality assurance: periodically evaluating overall project performance to ensure the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards Quality control: monitoring specific project results to ensure that they comply with the relevant quality standards
Whos Responsible for the Quality of Projects? Project managers are ultimately responsible for quality management on their projects
Several organizations and references can help project managers and their teams understand quality
International Organization for Standardization (www.iso.org)
When products, systems, machinery and devices work well and safely, it is often because they meet standards. The organization responsible for many thousands of the standards which benefit the world is ISO (derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal)
Quality control (QC) includes the activities from the suppliers, through production, and to the customers. Incoming materials are examined to make sure they meet the appropriate specifications. The quality of partially completed products are analyzed to determine if production processes are functioning properly. Finished goods and services are studied to determine if they meet customer expectations.

Hazard analysis Critical control points Preventive measures with critical limits for each control point Procedures to monitor the critical control points Corrective actions when critical limits are not met Verification procedures Effective record keeping and documentation
Measure and collect data using check sheets, check lists, or other means Take corrective action
Summary
important part of quality management system
goal is to identify errors and eliminate them
Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers
