Advanced Quality Management

Quality is ultimately defined by the customer, and represents how close the project and deliverables come to meeting the customer's requirements and expectations.


An effective quality management process results in "better" project deliverables, more efficient project work processes and increased client satisfaction. There is a cost associated with a quality management process as well, and it is important that the value of quality outweigh the cost. Much of the cost of quality is incurred during the project, while the benefits of quality are seen throughout the life of the deliverables. An effective quality program must be implemented at both a project level and an organization level. The focus of an organization quality program is to standardize processes and continually improve them over time.
