PRM701 Project Management: Quality Control, Time Management Analysis

This report provides an analysis of quality control measures in project management, explaining how these measures reduce defects and inefficiencies, improve project processes, and help achieve project objectives. It highlights the importance of achieving project scope, ensuring consumer satisfaction, implementing process improvements, increasing production efficiency, reducing rework, and enhancing internal communication. Furthermore, the report compares and contrasts two project time management techniques: Schedule Network Analysis and Gantt charts, detailing their features, applications, and benefits in planning and managing projects throughout their lifecycle. The document concludes with a reference list.

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
Quality control measure is one of the crucial phase for the growth and development of
the project and measure that can allow the project to meet its objectives and goals and
confirms the satisfaction level of the consumers. It allows the project manager to make the
compliance of the sustainability factor along with the needs and requirements of the project
as set in prior the execution of the project. It can be stated as an approach that can be helpful
in managing the project constraints and assuring that the output and the production being
made by the project is capable of fulfilling all the requirements and needs of the consumers.
Following are the aspects of the quality control measures those could state how the number of
the inefficiencies and defects can be eliminated throughout the growth and development of
the project:
Achievement of the project scope: The quality control measure assures that the
ongoing project meets the goals and objectives of the project those have been set at the prior
of the project. It can be helpful in implementing the changes within the project that can assure
that the project is being manipulated towards meeting objectives and goals if the project is
developing in wrong direction or towards another way. Quality control measures provides
concern on the application of the resources, equipment, and techniques in manner to manage
the delivery and production of the project.
Consumers Satisfaction: the major criteria for the project to be successful is that the
delivery is meeting the satisfactory level of the consumers and the output and production is as

per the estimation. The successful implementation of the quality control
measures can lead to fulfilling the basic needs and requirements of the consumers.
Process Improvement Implementation and Best Practices: It us helpful in
providing the project managers with an opportunity of the better selection of the practices and
implementation those could lead to thee better results and outputs.
Production increment: the quality control measures can support the project to
deliver the production and output in much efficient way through eliminating the deficiencies
those could eliminate the probability of defects in the production and hence, increasing the
production efficiency. The production made by the project will be capable of meeting the
needs and requirements of the users in the single go, if the quality control measures have
been implemented in better and efficient way.
Less rework: since the name itself defines control on quality and assuring the
production is up to the mark and the delivery being made is same or more than the
expectation of the consumer, it will be helpful in reducing the rework. Less rework will allow
the organization to work in better and efficient manner.
Internal Communication Enhancement: quality control measure can be helpful in
facilitating the stakeholders with better and enhanced communication platforms those could
alternatively result in the less deficit in the production and their quality. Better
communication will lead the stakeholders to manage their roles and responsibilities in an
efficient and effective manner.

Answer
Schedule Network Analysis and Gantt graph and are two techniques or
tools those could be used for the showing of the activities related to the project and their
timeline of the activities those will be needed for the entire project lifecycle. Gantt chart is a
bar graphical portrayal of the course of events with the activities in flat view. The activities of
the whole project lifecycle is exhibited as bar and the length of the bar speaks to the assessed
time that will be consumed by the specific movement. The Gantt graph likewise depicts the
reliance of the activities over different activities and comparable association is exhibited
through the arrow demonstrating the ‘begin to begin’, ‘begin to finish’, finish to finish’, and
‘complete to begin’ association relationship with the activities. The grouping of the bars can
be in consecutive frame or it could keep running in parallel with other action considering the
time devoured by that specific action. There are accessible instruments those could be used
for showing the better and viable Gantt graph with legitimate and clear visual depiction. The
bars begin from the normal timetable and finishes to the normal time that is the evaluated
time for the achievement of the action. The examinations can be made in the middle of the
actual time taken and the expected timeline of the task in much better and effective way.
Network diagram or schedule network analysis is another method that is useful in the
graphical portrayal of the calendar that will be required for the achievement of the normal
activities all through the project lifecycle. It a solitary page show of the calendar arrange
exhibiting from left to ideal over the page and all the legitimate interrelationships between the
activities and work's component. The project activities is exhibited in the sequential request
beginning from the inception period of the project to the task conclusion of the project
including all the middle of the road activities between them. It is otherwise called arrange
graph and basic way can likewise be exhibited through this system outline portraying the base
time and basic activities those are most impressive for the achievement of the project in
proficient and successful way. An examination can likewise be driven utilizing this graphical

portrayal that can be useful in deciding the present advance of the report and
the progressions those are vital for the improvement and development of the project.
