customer needs. A quality policy statement focused on customer needs is most
often 'marketing' focused and draws attention to the fact that the D’prac is laser

Distribute quality management plan to key


people for feedback
In order to implement the quality management plan successfully, firstly we need to
hire relevant manger such as marketing manager, development manger and technical
manager. We need to consider risk/hazard factors and complexity of the project and
adapt processes to provide the requisite level of quality. Document in the risk
management plan any project variations from the local QMP requirements. We also
need to develop performance measure thresholds to ensure agreement on the
definition of success relative to Quality Objectives. For example, the minimum
customer satisfaction in D’prac company need to be greater than or equal to 98%.

We also need to do the work according to the approved Program Management Plan
(PMP) and standard operating procedures. For example, since we need to achieve our
benchmark in 1 month period, we need to distribute the tasks into daily task such as
training staff every day, answering customer feedback daily and follow up with
existing customers daily.
Project execution is a dynamic process. The PDT must communicate, meet on a
regular basis, and adapt to changing conditions. The Quality Management Plan and
PMP may require modification to ensure that project objectives are met.

We also need to approval, review and monitoring of the quality management plan.

We can perform independent technical review, management oversight, and


verification to ensure that quality objectives are met consistent with District Quality
Management Plans.

A good marketing manager should have the following skills - UX design skills, SEO & SEM, content
management, social media, responsive desig, partner management, analytics, knowledge of the
latest tech tools, distributed experts skills, people skills, and team building / motivation.

Does the staff possess the skills and knowledge (50-100 words)

The IT manager does not meet all skills and knowledge. For example, our It manger cannot able to
establish relationships with other company leaders to launch new initiatives and educate employees
and stakeholders as new technologies and systems are implemented. Therefore, we need to provide
essential training to our IT manager, we need to ask IT manger to take relevant courses.

For marketing manager, she also need to learn how to do UX design so that she can help our
company to provide a better website page and earn potential profit.
