Project Management Maturity Model, 3rd Edition

Quality Management ◾ 93

Metrics collected throughout a project’s life cycle are

compared regularly to industry standards to ascertain potential

problem areas.

Quality Control

The organization maintains performance standards. Project results

are reviewed, inspected, and tested against these standards

consistently. The organization also has functional standards in

place and they undergo the same review, inspection and testing.

The quality process includes templates and guidelines

for review and testing that the products integrate with other

products/systems in the organization. All segments of the orga-

nization affected in any way by a project have opportunities to

test those effects adequately.
