What are the inputs to the Manage Quality Process - correct answer 1. Project
Management plan (Quality management plan), 2. Project documents )Lessons learned register, Quality
control measurements, quality metrics, risk report), 3. OPA
Tool used to Manage Quality Process - correct answer 1. Data gathering (checklist),
2. Data analysis (document analysis, process analysis, alternative analysis, root cause analysis), 3.
Decision making (multi-criteria decision analysis), 4. Data representation (affinity diagrams, cause-and-
effect-diagrams, flowcharts, histograms, matrix diagrams, scatter diagrams), 5. Audits, 6. Design for X, 7.
Problem solving, 8. Quality improvement methods
Root Cause Analysis - correct answer An analytical technique used to determine the
basic underlying reason that causes a variance or a defect or a risk. A root cause may underlie more than
one variance or defect or risk.
6 steps of root cause analysis? - correct answer 1. Identify an issue and define
problem, 2. collect data (troubled), 3. analysis for patterns, 4. check for process gaps/review gaps, 5.
Identify root cause, 7. Update process.
Outputs of the Manage Quality Process - correct answer 1. Quality reports, 2. Test
and evaluation documents, 4. Project management plan updates (quality management plan, scope
baseline, schedule baseline, cost baseline), 4. change request, 5. Project documents updates (issue log,
lessons learned register, risk register)
Inputs for Controlling Quality Process - correct answer 1. Project management plan
(quality management plan), 2. Project documents (Lessons learned register, quality metrics, test and
evaluation documents), 3. Approved change requests, 4. Deliverables, 5. Work Performance data, 6.
Enterprise environmental factors, 7. OPAs
What are the tools used in the Controlling Quality Process? - correct answer 1. Data
gathering (checklist, check sheets, statistical sampling, questionnaires and surveys), 2. Data analysis
(performance reviews, root cause analysis), 3. Inspection, 4. Testing/product evaluations, 5. Data
representation (cause-and-effect diagrams, control charts, histograms, scatter diagrams), 6. Meetings
(retrospective, approve change requests review)
