Project Quality Management and Assurance

Quality on a project is not an inspection at the end, it is a set of decisions made from the planning stage onward. This course builds practical quality planning, assurance and control into the project life cycle, covering acceptance criteria, quality audits, defect management and the cost of poor quality, with examples from construction, manufacturing and service delivery projects.
