Plan Quality Management

The Plan Quality Management is a project management process that identifies the quality of the requirements and standards of the project as well as the deliverable. It is also responsible for documenting  how the with the set standards and quality requirement.

The benefit of this process is that it guides and directs how the quality should be managed and validated all throughout the implementation of the project. To create the Plan Quality Management, inputs such as the project management plan, risk register, requirements documentation, stakeholder register, organizational process assets, and the enterprise  environmental factors are necessary. This project management process is necessary to create the quality management plan, quality metrics, and checklist. It can also lead to project document updates.

It is crucial to take note that quality planning should be done with other planning processes. For instance, the changes in the deliverables may need schedule and cost adjustment  as well as risk analyses to show how it impacts the entire plan. Quality planning is crucial in project management and the Plan Quality Management ensures that everything is in place before the project is implemented.

This term is defined in the 5th edition of the PMBOK.
