PROJECT PLANNING AND BUDGETING1
Quality in a project
Quality in a project ensures that the deliverables of the project are fit for the intended
purpose and satisfies the requirement of the customer (Taniguchi & Onosato, 2017). The quality
of a project relies on the identification of customers in a project and on the requirements those
are set by the customers.
For managing the project quality, it is very much important to meet the requirements of
the customer. Quality assurance and the quality control in a project are used interchangeably and
have different meanings. Project assurance mainly focuses on all the processes as well as helps to
prevent the defects prior to their occurrence in the project (Pheng, 2018). On the other hand
project control actually focuses on the service or the product and helps in identifying as well as
correcting the defects after the projects have already been completed.
Tools and techniques for planning project quality management
The tools and the techniques those are used for managing the project quality are:
Cause and effect diagrams: These diagrams are very helpful for finding the root cause of
the project defect. These diagrams mainly shows the relationships between results of problems
and the main root cause of the problems those are identified (Basu, 2017). These diagrams shows
the primary as well as secondary cost of the project.
Control Charts: These charts helps in measuring the result of the processes over the time
as well as helps in displaying the results in graphical form. Using the control charts, the quality
analyst helps in determining the in control and the out control of variances of process

Histograms: These are bar charts that helps in depicting distribution of the variables over
the time. These graphs helps in representing the distribution by calculating the mean of the data
from the project.
Project cost affected by poor project quality
If the project does not satisfies the quality of the project, the project cost will be increase.
Project quality includes managing the project by satisfying all the requirements of the project
those are stated by the customer (Eftekhari & Valmohammadi, 2017). If project quality is not
satisfied the project will be reopened and that will increase the cost of the project. The project
manager has the responsibility to manage the cost of the project. Project manager should control
any extra cost in the project that lies because of poor quality. The cost of having quality in the
project includes having poor quality of work because of the supervision lack in the project or not
including operational procedures in the project. The cost of quality in a project quantifies as well
as translates the failure of project. Proper development of method is to be measured for
determining the cost of poor quality in a project. s
Example: In the Vehicle maintenance facility case study, there are many constraints that
are given by the project owner. If the quality management of the project is not maintained in the
project, the project will be loss for the contractor as the project is fixed price project. Quality in
the project includes making the building with two main areas and those requirements are to be
followed in the project.
