ITPEC IP April 2022 Question 51
Project management knowledge areas are classified into project cost management, project scope management, project quality management, project risk management and other areas. Which of the following is an appropriate activity performed in project quality management?
Explanation
Defining and managing work procedures and performance levels to meet the deliverable acceptance criteria — this is project quality management.
Quality management sets the quality standards the deliverables must meet (the acceptance criteria), defines the procedures and measures to reach them (quality assurance), and checks the results against them (quality control, for example reviews and tests).
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) — completing the project within the budget is cost management
- •(c) — identifying, analysing, responding to and monitoring events with negative impact is risk management
- •(d) — defining and managing the work that must be performed for the project to succeed is scope management
Key rule: Quality management asks "is it good enough?" against defined criteria; scope asks "what work?", cost "how much money?", risk "what could happen?".
