precision

In quality management, precision describes the degree of exactness or fineness in results or measurements.

Key Points

  • Precision focuses on how exact and consistent results or measurements are.
  • High precision does not guarantee accuracy; values can be exact yet off from the true or target value.
  • Quality control tools (e.g., repeated measurements, control charts) help assess precision by showing low variation.
  • Requirements may specify precision tolerances (e.g., record to 0.01 units) to guide verification and testing.

Example

During performance testing, five runs show response times of 2.01 s, 2.00 s, 2.02 s, 2.01 s, and 2.00 s. The results are tightly clustered, indicating high precision, even if the target SLA is 1.50 s (which would be an accuracy concern).

PMP Example Question

A QA analyst notes that a measurement device consistently reports values 10 mm above the specification, with almost no variation across repeated checks. What quality characteristic is demonstrated?

  1. Accuracy
  2. Precision
  3. Prevention cost
  4. Conformance

Correct Answer: B — Precision

Explanation: The readings are consistent and tightly grouped (high precision) but not close to the true or target value (low accuracy).

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
