Quality Planning

Start with the planning inputs

Begin with the mind map that describes gathering information at the start of a project and deciding how quality will be measured. It offers a starting point for reading the other maps on this page.

Next, look at a map covering the inputs to quality planning. The listed maps include the stakeholder register, requirements documentation, risk register and project management plan. One also points to the schedule, cost and scope baselines. Use its branches to see which pieces of project information appear together, then return to any term you want to study more closely.

Move on to quality plans

The mind maps on quality plans introduce the quality management plan, quality checklists, quality metrics and the process improvement plan. One describes the quality management plan as a subplan of the project management plan. Another includes guidelines for managing quality and metrics.

After studying the inputs, compare them with the planning resources that focus on these documents and measures. Note the terms that appear in each map and use the branches to organize your understanding. The page also lists a map called Quality Plan and a resource on project quality planning and project kickoff.

Use the collection within the unit

Quality Planning is a section of the Project Quality Management unit in Business administration and management (incl. project management). A listed map places Plan Quality Management alongside Perform Quality Assurance and Control Quality, helping you connect this section with the unit's other quality processes.

There are no quizzes on this topic page, but its flashcard decks offer another format to study alongside the maps. Look through a map first, then use a deck to review the terms it presents. Choose a map or flashcard deck to get started.
