Advice The Quality Management Strategy is derived from the: Project Board; Project
Brief, Project management team structure (for roles and responsibilities),
Project Product Description (for the customer’s quality expectations and
acceptance criteria); Organizational standards; Supplier and customer quality
management systems; Configuration management requirements; Change
control requirements; Corporate or programme strategies; Facilitated
workshops and informal discussions.
A Quality Management Strategy can take a number of formats, including:
Stand-alone document or a section in the Project Initiation Document; Entry in
a project management tool.
The following quality criteria should be observed:
 The strategy clearly defines ways in which the customer’s quality
expectations will be met
 The defined ways are sufficient to achieve the required quality
 Responsibilities for quality are defined up to a level that is independent
of the project and Project Manager
 The strategy conforms to the supplier’s and customer’s quality
management systems
 The strategy conforms to the corporate or programme quality policy
 The approaches to assuring quality for the project are appropriate in
the light of the standards selected.
