(11) Quality Control
Give this one a try later!
Based on the Quality Management Plan, involves inspection/testing/control
activities for each of the project outputs, led by the project team.
Inspection, measurement & testing to ensure products meet acceptance
criteria.
Inspection detects problems early (cheaper to correct).
Includes e.g. documentation reviews by team, site inspections, sampling of
products, and documenting findings. (+ see techniques below)
(6) Project Management Plan (PMP)

- Output of definition stage of project (whereas business case is output of
concept stage).
- Collection of plans & strategies that describe project objectives & how
project will be managed. .
- Produced by PM and project team; agreed between PM and Sponsor; form
, their contract & basis for decisions.
- Describes project objectives and how project will be managed.

Give this one a try later!
1. Inspection - including walk-throughs, audits, document checks, reviews - all
involve documenting findings, which may be used for statistical analysis.
2. Testing: sample or 100% testing.
3. Ishikawa 7 quality techniques: cause & effect diagram, control charts, flow
charts, histogram, pareto chart, check sheets, scatter diagram.
- Cause & effect (fishbone) diagram used to analyse causes of a problem,
asking why?/how?
- Pareto chart is a histogram ordered by most frequent causes/problems
(applying 80/20 rule), data may be derived from check sheets.
- Scatter diagram: used to see if there is a relationship between 2 variables.
(1) Functional Organisation Structure Disadvantages

- Corporate projects become difficult due to "Siloed" nature
- Functions prioritise their own functions work over others - inward looking
- Remote from customer
