2. Plan
The project team will work with the Quality Management Representative to define and
document all organizational and project specific quality standards that will be used to
determine successful outcomes.
Do
The Quality Management Representative will be responsible for working with the project
team to define these metrics, conduct measurements, and analyze results.
All quality documentation will become part of the Project Plan and will be transitioned to
the PMO upon the successful completion of the project.
Analyze
Metrics will be established and used to measure quality throughout the project life cycle.
Examples of metrics include cost, schedule, resources, performance, etc.
These product and process measurements will be used as one criterion in determining the
success of the project and must be reviewed by the project sponsor.
Improve
Quality improvements will be identified by any member of the project. Each
recommendation will be reviewed to determine the cost versus benefit of implementing
the improvement and how the improvement will impact the product or processes.
If an improvement is implemented the project manager will update all project
documentation to include the improvement and the quality manager will update the
organizational documentation the improvement affects.
