Read the first 7 Quality Management flashcards as text

  1. During Control Quality, the team discovers that five deliverables have defects that can be repaired. These items are logged as:

    Answer: Validated defects requiring defect repair

    Defects identified during Control Quality are documented and tracked so they can be repaired and then re-inspected.

  2. A project manager wants to understand how a complex manufacturing process flows before designing quality checks. Which tool is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Flowchart

    Flowcharts visualize the sequence and interactions of process steps, helping identify where quality checks should be placed.

  3. In agile projects, quality is primarily maintained through which practice?

    Answer: Building quality in through continuous testing and retrospectives

    Agile emphasizes 'building quality in' via practices like TDD, continuous integration, peer reviews, and retrospective-driven process improvement.

  4. A project team uses Design of Experiments (DOE) to optimize a manufacturing process. What is the PRIMARY purpose of this technique?

    Answer: To statistically identify which variables most influence process outcomes

    DOE is a statistical method used to systematically vary input factors and measure their effect on output, identifying critical variables.

  5. Which output of the Plan Quality Management process provides the standards and criteria the project will use to verify deliverable quality?

    Answer: Quality metrics

    Quality metrics define specific attributes and how they will be measured, providing objective criteria for evaluating conformance.

  6. A project sponsor asks why the project is investing in prevention activities when they cost more upfront. The BEST justification is:

    Answer: Prevention costs are typically much lower than the cost of fixing defects later

    The cost of preventing defects is generally far lower than the combined cost of internal failures (rework) and external failures (warranty, reputation damage).

  7. A project manager reviews inspection results and finds that measured outcomes consistently fall near the upper control limit. What is the BEST course of action?

    Answer: Investigate for an assignable cause before the process goes out of control

    Consistently near the upper control limit may signal a trend; investigating early prevents the process from going out of control.
