A look at Quality Management of Projects
On time, within budget and to the right quality. Measurement of the three common project objectives indicating a successful project.
Projects are complex endeavors with pressure on certain aspects of the process, such as time and cost, which may easily conflict with the quality objective.
Whilst we usually monitor projects based on the more available project objectives of time and cost the success criteria of projects set by the business at the outset are more often associated with quality. Once the project is complete and the deliverables are handed over to the business the cost and time project objectives quickly loose significance whilst the quality objective rapidly gains focus particularly in relation to precise suitability and the effort of maintenance.
The crucial understanding of precisely how the deliverables will benefit the business based upon the needs which drive the project and then how the project will develop those deliverables in order to realise the benefits are at the root of this training course.
We will look at the tools used in the project management process and how they can ensure that the project team is properly prepared throughout the project life cycle to meet the expectations of the business.
