Control Limits
Set by process | How well we control the process
31
Tolerances
Set by customer | what customer will accept
32
Inspection
Reactive | Catching errors before customer does
33
Prevention
Proactive | Keeping errors out of process
34
Control Quality Inputs

Process Decision Program Charts
Identify Consequential impact of failure on activity plans Create appropriate contingency plans to limit risk Used to understand a goal in relation to the steps for getting to the goal
61
Interrelationship Digraphs
Tool displays interrelated cause-and-effect relationships and factors Describes desired outcomes
62
Prioritization Matrix
Pair-wise comparisons* is used to prioritize items and describe them in terms of weighted criteria * Judging items in pairs to judge which of each entry is preferred
63
Quality Audits
Review by someone outside project team to determine how we're doing from a quality standpoint
64
Perform Quality Assurance includes
the improvement of quality processes
65
Deliverables are
An input to Perform Quality Assurance
66
What is process analysis
A Tool and Technique of Perform Quality Assurance
67
What is the tool used to understand a goal in relation to the steps for getting to the goal
Process Decision Program Charts
68
Is "Measuring Deliverables (products)" an action of Control Quality or Validate Scope?
Both
69
Is control quality performed internally or by the customer
Internally
70
When is control quality performed
Usually before validate scope
71
If the product fails "Control Quality" can the customer accept it anyway?
Yes
72
Who performs "validate scope"
By the customer
73
When is "validate scope" performed?
Usually after "Control Quality"
74
If the product passes "Control Quality" does the customer have to accept it
No. He can fail it as part of validate scope
75
The requirements and traceability matrix are
Inputs to Validate Scope
76
Quality metrics are
An OUTPUT of plan quality | An INPUT to control quality
77
Control Quality is
Monitoring specific project results to determine if they comply with relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance
