Q

Matrix diagram

A

Data analysis table that shows strength between variables and relationships in the matrix

17
Q

Pareto diagram

A

Illustrates and ranks categories of failure within a project.

18
Q

Quality

A

Degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements

19
Q

Quality assurance

A

Management process that defines the quality system or or quality policy that a project must adhere to. QA aims to plan quality into the project rather than inspect quality into a deliverable.

20
Q

Quality management plan

A

Plan defines how the project team will implement and fulfill the quality policy of the performing organization.

21
Q

Quality metrics

A

The operational definitions that specify measurements within a project and the expected targets for quality and performance.

22
Q

Quality planning

A

The process of first determining which quality standards are relevant to your project and then finding out the best methods of adhering to those quality standards.

23
Q

Rule of seven

A

Component of control chart.

Seven consecutive measurements on one side of the mean, which is considered “out of control” in the poroject

24
Q

Run chart

A

QC tool shows results of inspection in the order in which they’ve occurred.

Goal is first to demonstrate the results of a process over time and then use trend analysis to predict when certain trends may reemergy.

25
Scatter diagram
QC tool tracks relationship between two variables over time. The two variables are considered related the closer they track against a diagonal line.
26
Seven basic quality tools
Used in quality planning and QC: | cause/effect diagram, flowchart, check sheets, pareto, histograms, control charts, scatter
27
Statistical sampling
Process of choosing a percentage of results at random.
28
System or process flowcharts
Illustrate flor of a process through a system.
29
Tree diagram
Shows hierarchies and decomposition of a solution, and organizaiton, or a project team. WBS is an eg of a tree diagram
30
Trend analysis
Science of using past results to predict future performance
31
Work performance information
The results of the project work as needed. This includes technical performance measures, project status, informaiton on what the project has created to date, corrective actions, and performance reports.
