Project Quality Goals

The thought of project quality must be present from the very beginning of any project for the goals and scope of said project to be achieved. This is a must since the level of quality each deliverable is to achieve is different for each target audience.

The project quality standards are set in the business charter of the project that the stakeholders have already approved. It is this level of quality that must be met for the project to be considered a success. In most cases, this level of quality has a range of specifications so the target is easier to hit. This applies to size, function and composition of the deliverable. The color of the deliverable generally only has one standard and is the strictest when being adhered to.

To obtain this level of quality, the project quality plan must be correctly devised by the Quality Assurance department. The development of a totally new process or method by this department generally makes use of a project management template for assistance and a guide. This will speed this necessary process along and help to ensure all of the proper components so the processes are consistent with the total quality plan of the project.

The use of the templates for all of the project quality plans is to help maintain a consistency within the total plan itself. Not only will they all have the same appearance but they will also have the same level of information that will be required by the stakeholders of such a plan.

Having the project quality plan documented is only part of this important process. The implementation of this plan is also crucial. This is where training of the staff, and especially the Quality Control department, comes into play. They must be fully aware of what is expected of them so the deliverable will meet it targets. It will also prevent delays if there is a question as to what level of quality is to be obtained.

The project quality plan is just as important as the project plan itself in guaranteeing that the deliverable is to meet its goal of developing a revenue stream. Without this known level of quality being met, the project will be considered a failure.

Lean Methodology

The use of lean methodology has grown in the manufacturing sector since it was first implemented after World War II. As time has progressed, this methodology has been refined with the end result of creating more, faster and with less. The type of companies that can best utilize the lean methodology approach is manufacturing, because of the principles involved with it. This is to create a product with as little invested as possible in the deliverable. For a company wishing to use the lean methodology , they must first analyze their process in depth. Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.

Management Methodologies

The modifying and developing of new management methodologies to fit the needs of industry is an ongoing process. With the use of a computer, this has become a much easier process than before. This has made it very easy to create, customize and import existing methodologies along with managing several of them at once. You can use management methodologies to define new process you have developed or group any set of existing process into a new methodology. There are project management methodology programs that can assist in the documentation of your new methodology so it can be used and shared by those you have approved. You can even customize a methodology for a particular size project with this type of program. The most often use of this type of software program is to use several different management methodologies and modify them to you specific needs. This way you’re working environment and available resources can be made the most of in running your project. Most programs that allow ...
