Quality risk is one of the most
important aspect of the project risk that is created when the
variation takes place in deliverable and specifications from the
planned quality parameters. It has the potential to jeopardize the
success of the project. To manage the quality risk and eliminate
the deviation from the planned deliverables, there is a need to
take-up the different measures. The first measure is to apply the
earned value management practices that keep track of the progress
of the project in terms of different indicators. While doing so and
at the time of taking of corrective action, the predefined quality
specifications are also observed. Any corrective action, should
also meet the quality criteria in implementation program. The
second measure is to time bound quality assessment of the project
work being done. The strict provision should be there to prevent
the scope of deviation of the planned quality metrics. It will make
the project successful for the client as well as for the service
provider.
Quality risk also comes into the picture where there is an erratic
assessment of the project with the lofty considerations and that
cannot be met in reality. It should be properly discussed, assessed
and finalized after the through discussion between the client and
project management company.
