April 2017 Salem Lunch Meeting

What I've learned studying Quality Management

Presenter: Bob Frank

Quality Management is the pivot of the project's lifecycle. Quality Management tends to realign the project through its efforts in creating customer satisfaction. Quality Management requires us to fully understand how the product and the project works together, but separately through different quality metric applications. Quality Management not only investigates the quality program through quality assurances and controls, but it also invites Maturity Models such as TQM, ISO 9000, or Six Sigma to be integrated.

This presentation fits the criteria to comply with the Technical value of 1 PDU.

Then there are those pesky quality metrics that we are not so sure about using. If we are not a numbers kind of guy how do these metrics work? What do we mean we have to know standard deviation, frequency analysis, or histograms? We didn't sign up to be actuaries!

Yet, it behooves us to understand quality management, to study it, and know its application and its tools and techniques. If we are short on the skills and knowledge, we end up calling it our own risk and we will do everything to mitigate it to someone else when in fact, quality management belongs to us.

In this one hour presentation and facilitation, we will look at the whys to quality management, its program, quality assurances and quality controls. We will also look at how the project and the product quality measures work together. We will review our current knowledge on the seven metric tools described in the PMBOK and their applications. We will then finalize the discussion on how to integrate quality Maturity Models with your Quality Management Plan. And if there is time, we will look at how to modify quality models. Since we are in a world of hybrids, can we modify Triple Constraint to meet quality objectives?

Welcome, multi-faceted project managers where Quality Management is the pivot of the project.
