Abstract

Project quality reflects the degree of requirements’ accomplishment. In most cases it is aligned with the company quality standards like CMMI, Six Sigma, ITIL (ISO 20000), BOOTSRTAP, SPICE and international ISO and national (e.g. DIN) standards. Internal quality management is effectively supported by the external quality control. The Demings’ 14 areas of quality aspects bound in Total Quality Control lead to purposeful Project Quality Management System.

Team assessment and benchmarking are useful techniques in quality evaluation.
