Quality Metrics

A defined project or product characteristic along with the method, units, and criteria used to quantify and assess it.

Key Points

  • Specifies the attribute to evaluate, how it is measured, data source, units, frequency, and target or threshold.
  • Derived from requirements, standards, and the quality management plan; guides quality assurance and control activities.
  • Enables objective acceptance and monitoring through tools like control charts, check sheets, and dashboards.
  • Must be clear, measurable, and traceable; vague metrics lead to inconsistent results and rework.

Example

Manufacturing project: "Scrap rate <= 2% per batch, measured at end-of-line inspection using the MES; reported weekly by the quality team."

PMP Example Question

Which of the following is the best example of a quality metric?

  1. A flowchart showing the steps of the inspection process
  2. Rework rate under 5% of total effort, measured monthly from timesheets
  3. A general statement that the organization will delight customers
  4. A list of risks prioritized as high, medium, or low

Correct Answer: B — Rework rate under 5% of total effort, measured monthly from timesheets

Explanation: Option B defines an attribute, the method of measurement, units, and a target threshold, which is what a quality metric requires.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
