Quality Plan

A documented plan describing the quality objectives, responsibilities, procedures and controls applicable to a project, product or activity.

Definition

A Quality Plan is a controlled document that defines the quality objectives, organizational responsibilities, inspection and testing requirements, procedures, acceptance criteria and quality controls applicable to a specific project, product or activity. It establishes how quality requirements will be achieved and verified throughout execution.

Why It Matters

Quality Plans define the quality management activities required to achieve and verify compliance with specified project or organizational requirements.

In Practice

Quality Plans commonly reference applicable standards, inspection and test plans, quality records, audit requirements and responsibilities for verifying compliance throughout project execution.

Common Misuse

A Quality Plan defines how quality requirements will be achieved, whereas Quality Records provide objective evidence that those requirements have been satisfied.
