Importance of Quality Management in Projects.

Importance of Quality Management in Projects.
Projects, as defined by PMI, are temporary endeavors undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. In itself the projects are developed with specific and temporary purposes. They can be developed by project-oriented companies or companies oriented to other types of activities, by direct beneficiaries or by companies contracted for it, that is, they can be internal projects (developed by the organization for the organization) and external projects ( developed by the organization for its Clients or developed by third parties for the Organization). The development of a project entails the investment of resources and the fulfillment of objectives, so a management system must be followed to guarantee the achievement of the objectives and the adequate use of resources.
According to ISO 9000, quality is the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics of an object meets the requirements, and for this, project-oriented ISO 21502 offers recommendations for including project quality management in its planning. . In itself, this regulation gives an expanded vision of the project, considering it within the organization where it is developed, its environment, the organizational environment and the external environment, and all the interactions between the parties, including quality as part of it.

Quality Methodologies

In addition to the approaches considered by the PMI and the ISO, which present many similarities, there are other methodologies that can nurture project quality management, including the one developed by Motorola, Six Sigma, which is customer-oriented and based on the clear understanding of the Client’s requirements, a key element when developing projects, for the achievement of the objectives, the client’s satisfaction and minimizing the waste of resources. Another one that can be mentioned is PRINCE2 that proposes a step by step to follow for the application of the quality management system in the different phases or stages of the project.

Project Management. Quality Management.

Starting from the idea that every project must meet certain objectives, it is the quality management system, which allows evaluating throughout the development of the project if the activities proposed to achieve the objectives were adequate, and if the The results or products obtained are what is expected, which makes it possible to identify any deviation generated by internal or external factors and produce the necessary changes, allowing the adjustments that can lead to the success of the project. Regarding the approaches and methodologies to be used, general guidelines are obtained to establish the guidelines and principles to be considered, and then some methodologies can be applied that establish the plan to follow, and others that establish the programming, how to develop the activities.
