Here are some of the inputs…
Plan Quality Management is the process of identifying quality requirements and or standards for the project and it’s deliverables and documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance with quality requirements and standards. The key benefits of this process are that it provides guidance and direction on how quality will be managed and verified throughout the project.
#1 Project Charter
The Project Charter provides a high-level project description and product characteristics. It also contains the project approved requirements, measurable project objectives and related success criteria that will influence the quality management of the project.
#2 Project Management Plan
Project Management Plan components include:
Requirement management plan: The requirements management plan provides the approach for identifying, analysing, and managing the requirements that the quality management plan and quality metrics will reference.
Risk management plan: The risk management plan provides an approach for identifying, analysing, and monitoring risks. The information in the risk management plan and quality management plan work together to successfully deliver product and project success.
Stakeholder Management Plan: The stakeholder management plan provides the methods for documenting the stakeholders’ needs and expectation that provide the foundation for quality management for the project.
Scope baseline: The Work Breakdown Structure along with the deliverables documented in the project scope statement are considered while determining which quality standards and objectives are suitable for the project, and which project deliverables and processes will be subjected to quality review.
The scope statement includes the acceptance criteria for the deliverables. The definition of acceptance criteria may significantly increase or decrease quality cost and, therefore, project costs. Satisfying all acceptance criteria implies the need of the stakeholders has been met.
