The plan should comply with known standards, regulations, or company policies based on the product of the project. This individual module shows how the Project Quality Management includes the processes for incorporating the organization's quality policy regarding planning, managing, and controlling project and product quality requirements, in order to meet stakeholders' expectations, as described by PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Recognize at least four quality pioneers and state their key contributions to the quality movement Distinguish between the concepts and processes of project quality management Label the cost of quality variables and their potential impact on project success State the value of control charts and identify standard patterns Describe tools and techniques used for quality assurance and quality control Review Project Quality Management Knowledge Area Plan Quality Management Manage Quality Control Quality

Project Management Practitioner Program - Project Procurement Management: On-Demand Procurement management is a process that lends itself to business efficiency. If managed correctly, procurement management provides a structure that is flexible enough to suit the needs of individual business units and uses sound judgment and constant monitoring to be sure that product and service delivery is not left to chance. This individual module shows how the Project Procurement Management includes the processes necessary to purchase or acquire products, services, or results needed from outside the project team, as described by PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Describe the procurement planning process Identify common contract types, their characteristics, and appropriate use Identify and explain strategies used to request and review seller proposals Recognize key aspects of contract administration and closure Review Project Procurement Management Knowledge Area Plan Procurement Management Conduct Procurements Control Procurements
