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.
