ITPEC IP October 2024 Question 56
ITPEC IP October 2024 — Question 56 of 100
Quality planning should compare the benefits of achieving the target quality with the costs required to achieve it. Benefits can include less rework, higher productivity, fewer failures, and greater stakeholder satisfaction. Costs include prevention, appraisal, review, testing, and other quality activities. The purpose is to establish suitable standards and methods within the project's overall constraints.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) lessons and standards from similar past projects can still be useful even when deliverables are not identical
- (b) schedule is not always the highest priority, and arbitrarily reducing review or testing can undermine the target
- (c) quality is balanced with scope, schedule, cost, risk, and value; budgets cannot simply be unlimited
Key rule: Quality planning selects justified quality targets and methods by considering both expected value and required resources.
