Quality Management
Project Quality Management includes the processes and activities of

the performing organization that determine quality policies,
objectives, and responsibilities so that the project will satisfy the
needs for which it was undertaken. Project Quality Management uses
policies and procedures to implement, within the project's context,
the organization's quality management system and, as appropriate, it
supports continuous process improvement activities as undertaken on
behalf of the performing organization. Project Quality Management
works to ensure that the project requirements, including product
requirements, are met and validated.
