PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
Question
Explain how quality control measures on projects can reduce the number of defects and
inefficiencies along with improving project process, outputs and objectives?
Answer
With the implementation of the quality control measures in the project development
methodology the errors in the project can be eliminated and it can help in improvement of the
efficiency of the project. The project manager is responsible to develop the project and
implement necessary steps for the elimination of the errors in the different steps involved in
the project development process. For improvising the quality of the project different project
development methodologies can be applied and the progress of the project should be
monitored. The errors identified during the advancement of the phases of the project
development should be mitigated immediately such that the quality of the project is not
hampered and a quality project solution is delivered to the client.
Achievement of scope of the project – The goals of objectives of the project must be defined
and the requirement of the project should be clear to the development team for the
preparation of the planning of the project. The stakeholders can be involved in the
requirement analysis phase for estimating the resource, time and budget of the project. The
roles and responsibility should be assigned to each of the team member involved in the
project development process for increasing the stability and reliability of the project.
Customer Satisfaction – The application of the quality control helps in improvement of the
level of satisfaction of the customer. The project should be developed such that it can serve
the customer to fulfil their needs and attain the goals of the business. The current output of
the project should be compared with the desired output for analysing the quality of the project
and implementation of the modification that can be applied for getting the desired outcome.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
Best practice and process improving – The new technology and measures that can be
implemented for the improvement of the project and enhancing the consistency of the project
should be analysed. The quality control is also important for the accomplishment of the
different activities such as reducing the cost of the project, getting the maximum throughput
from the project ad removal of the constraint faced during the development of the project.
Enhancement of production – Different tools and techniques that can be included is identified
and proper training is provided to the user for getting the best output from the project and
aligning it to the current requirement of the user. The measures of quality control helps to
improve the productivity and thus returning more benefit to the client.
resource should be allocated for each of the activity for
Reduces reworks – The measures of quality control helps in removal of the errors from the
starting phases of the development of the project and thus reduces the chances of reworks
during the final build of the project. The needs of the customer should be identified and less
assumption should be used for the development such that it is approved by the client on the
first go.
Enhancement of the internal communication – The communication between the team
members involved in the development process of the project should not be hindered. Any
barrier in the communication should be eliminated such that each of the team member is
informed about the current progress of the project or changes that needs to be adopted in the
project.
