What is a project quality plan?<\/h2>\n

A project quality plan is a document that outlines how you\u2019re going to make sure the quality of your work is up to standard. Project quality planning is the process of setting quality standards throughout a project.<\/strong> Your quality management plan is where you immortalize those standards.<\/p>\n

Project quality planning is about more than just ensuring that your quality is \u201cgood\u201d.<\/p>\n
