4. Quality Planning
This section is an overview of your project quality planning. Include:
- A summary of the key quality standards relevant to the project; mention expectations from customers, key
stakeholder or client; critical success factors.
As the event is a wine and food festival, the quality standards should be linked to the main or core
deliverables of it.
Food Quality: The food and its preparation should have a minimum of hygienic standard in order to
prevent any consequences in peoples’ health. The highest quality of the food will be definite by project
budget, people expectation, etc.
https://www.iso.org/iso-22000-food-safety-management.html
Wine Quality: As the Wine is one of the two more important deliverables, it has to achieve a certain
quality standard, also it is linked with the type of event, it means that because the nature of the event, it is
expected a certain variety of different wines and standards for them as well.

- Add information about your overall approach to QA and QC: do you have identified key points to undertake
QA and QC activities? How are you communicating findings to key stakeholders (specifically mention the
stakeholders)?
In reality quality assurance and quality control activities control are performed throughout the project as
deliverables are executed and checked against requirements. Quality assurance activities are built into
the development of each deliverable, whereas quality control activities are performed once a deliverable
has been completed.
These include:
Quality standard.

6.Quality Assurance
Describe:
- Your plan for QA: timing, tools and techniques that will be utilised, key personnel that will perform QA. Any
relevant information on how you will analyse the data.
The data would be analyzed by the project manager firstly, and then with part of the team depending on
who is involve in the certain part of the project. Every time the revision will be basically comparing the
difference between the quality standard requirements against the result either during the project or at the
end of it depending on QA or QC is being measure.
The quality of the time would be stablished by the schedule, it means that everything must have been
done no after than the due date described on it.
The techniques utilized would be Six sigma, Kaizen and Quality management. The main tool would be
Kaizen, so every team member can make suggestions or lead process improvements.
- Your approach to remedial actions if quality gaps between current and desired performance, are identified.
All points MUST be addressed.
The remedial actions will be considered as a change, since every gap means consequences in time,
quality or budget. Every time a quality gap is found it the project manager will be in contact with the
responsible of it, and he or she would be in charge of estimate the consequences of this change, which
also will be described in the log sheet waiting for sponsor approval.
7.Quality Control
Describe:
- Your plan for QC: at what time it will be performed, tools and techniques that will be utilised, key personnel
that will perform QC. Any relevant information on how you will analyze the data.
Our plan for quality control is to perform it once each deliverable is completed in order to detect and
rectify project defects. The tools and techniques utilized will be: benchmarking (by comparison with other
projects); inspection and check-list, cause-and-effect diagrams (to analyze problems, the causes and how
to solve them), histograms (Paretto chart). The key personal involved in the quality control are the project
manager, the project team and the key stakeholders. I will analyze the data by comparing the quality, cost
and time with similar projects in order to improve my project.
- Include your process for recording the QC data and how they will be communicated to relevant
stakeholders.
The process for recording the quality control data will be on QC logs, where the requests for each
technique/tool will be registered followed by the approval or reproved and why. The deliverables reproved
will have their rectify plan. The quality control data will be communicated to relevant stakeholders through
regular meetings during the project.
- What process do you have in place if it is determined that at the end of the project quality standards do not
comply with the standards defined in your plan?
If at the end the project quality standards don’t comply with the standards defined by our plan I would
adopt the Kaizen method that consists in small but constant improvements, so we can prevent errors over
inspections. For example, in order to test the Ferris safety, it would be reviewed and tested to check that
everything is working how it needs to be. Then, I would report to the sponsors and key stakeholders the
Ferris test results. Ultimately, I would register all the process in the logs so that never happens again in
future projects
1. When monitoring quality assurance processes, you find out that one of your deliverables
was not properly quality assured and that it does not meet the quality requirements as
defined by your project plan. You are three weeks from completing your project.
Refer to your project plan and discuss the following (ALL points MUST be addressed):
b. Analyse the impact of the issue on your project progress. Consider risks, resource
requirements, interdependencies, cost, quality and so forth.
c. Identify and describe what actions need to be undertaken to address the situation
and maintain project objectives.
Include your plan to implement the change/action.
Use the table below to record your answer.
d. Discuss how you the quality assurance process should have been applied to this
deliverable.
The quality assurance should have been applied to “Botanic Garden permission” through
the project checklist, once the project team make a meeting to check the progress they
would notice the missing deliverable.
e. Discuss how you are informing relevant stakeholders (mention which ones based
on your project) about the issue. Record your answer in the table below:
2. After one month into the project, the lack of project management experience of the project
team is undermining the success of the project. You have determined that the team is not
performing quality assurance processes as instructed and they are not providing you with
correct and current progress reports.
What remedial actions would you undertake?
Consider your project, your project quality planning document and reflect on the issues
addressed in the previous questions (assume that the scenarios in question 1 and 2
happened during the execution phase of your project).
Given the fact that the project team has been having difficulties to make the deliverables achieve
the quality standards that the project has established and also to report project progress, I would

train the project team again in order to put quality assurance processes in the culture of the
project and train everyone to follow it, report and learn with the mistakes of these project so it
doesn’t happen again.
a. How would you identify and document quality management issues and recommend
improvements for future projects?
I would identify quality management issues by making checklists with the project team so we
could follow closely the deliverables completed and the missing ones. I would document
issues on the log issue. For future improvements I would recommend the use of quality
assurance activities (reviews, process checklists and quality audits) to ensure that the
deliverables achieve the quality standards.
b. Consider that you have now completed your project and you are preparing your
project review report.
c. Write an evaluation report on the quality plan (to include lesson learned and
recommendations for future projects) addressed to your client. (Minimum 100
words)
Fortunately, the Festival went as expected although some urgency in the closing phase.
We had issues related to the deliverables and contract the Botanic Garden was missing
only 3 weeks before the Festival.
For this reason, the cost with the Botanic Garden increased and we were not expecting
that. All the activities that were depending on the event location, the quality could have
decreased because of other location in case they didn’t had the availability and the
Festival were in a very high risk to be postponed in order to be held in the Botanic
Garden.
I suggest for a future project that checklist meetings are inserted on the planning because
it’s a way to confirm that everything that needed to be done was done. Finally, I also
would like to suggest finding more sponsors to help covering unexpected expenses.
Thank you for the opportunity and I’d be glad to work with you again in future projects.
Sincerely,
Carlos Lidon
