Q

Quality vs. Grade

A

Quality = the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfill requirements.
Grade = same functional use but different technical characteristics
Project Manager and project team are responsible for managing the trade-offs.

Q

Control Quality outputs:

A
Prevention and inspection (keeping errors out of the process and hands of the customer)
Attribute sampling (the result conforms or does not conform) , Variable sampling (measured on a continuous scale that measures the degree of conformity)
tolerances (range of acceptable results), control limits (boundary of common variation)

Problem Solving Steps
``` DAIPIR Define the problem Analyze the problem Identify Solutions Pick a solution Implement a solution Review and check the solution ```
26
Control Charts
Established in Manage Quality, used in Control Quality determine: mean, specification limits, and control limits normal and acceptable limits, out side of the limits = out of control
27
Pareto
80/20 rule
28
Quality Management Overview
Consider:stakeholder, cost, industry (standards), continuous improvement QA is build into the activity list/schedule
29
Continual improvement techniques
PDCA - plan do check act TQM - total quality management six sigma->project and product
30
Quality in Agile environments
Do quality review more often throughout Frequent retrospectives->validate quality Root cause analysis -> change QA approach Small batches: QA issues, discrepancies CI faster than traditional project
31
Plan quality management overview
Identify quality and project and deliverables Compliance with quality requirements Guidance and directions on how quality is managed
32
Manage Quality Overview
Implement Q based on policies practices of org. Goal: improve change of achieving Q - Find inefficient processes - Find causes of poor Q Done many times Might impact ICC (if issues found)
