PROJECT MANAGEMENT: SISENSE PROJECT QUALITYMANAGEMENT PLANNINGNAMEDATE
INTRODUCTIONManaging quality in projects is the process of ensuring that all activities within a project needed for the designing, planning, and execution of a project are both efficient and effective in the context of the project purposes and objectives as well as its performance (Wagner, Deissenboeck and Winter, 2008). Managing project quality is a continuous process that starts when the project starts and ends upon its completion (Roseke, 2016). The management of quality in projects has more to do with avoiding issues that would adversely affect projects rather than measuring and fixing outputs of poor quality (Lientz, 2011).
