Control Quality

The process of checking and documenting the outcomes of quality activities to evaluate performance and confirm that deliverables are complete, accurate, and meet customer needs.

Key Points

  • Focuses on inspecting work and deliverables to verify they meet defined quality criteria.
  • Relies on tools such as inspections, checklists, sampling, control charts, and testing.
  • Generates results like quality measurements, confirmed deliverables, defect logs, and potential change requests.
  • Occurs during project execution and is distinct from planning quality and improving process design.

Example

On a software project, the team runs system tests, records defects in a log, analyzes a control chart for defect trends, and re-tests fixes. Once a feature passes all acceptance criteria, the team marks the deliverable as confirmed and ready for stakeholder review.
