Project Quality Management and its relationship with project scope

The relationship between quality management, project requirements, and the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is foundational to successful project planning and execution. Here's how they interconnect:

🔹 1. Project Requirements

These are the needs and expectations of stakeholders that the project must fulfill. They include:

Functional requirements (what the product/service must do)
Non-functional requirements (performance, usability, etc.)
Regulatory or compliance requirements

Why they matter: Requirements define the scope of the project and serve as the baseline for planning, execution, and validation.

🔹 2. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to accomplish the project objectives and create the deliverables.

It breaks down the project into manageable sections (work packages).
Each element in the WBS should be traceable back to one or more project requirements.

Why it matters: The WBS ensures that all requirements are addressed and provides a structure for assigning responsibilities, estimating costs, and scheduling.

🔹 3. Quality Management

This involves the processes and activities that determine quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities. It includes:

Quality Planning: Defining quality standards and how they will be achieved.
Quality Assurance: Ensuring processes are followed.
Quality Control: Monitoring specific project results to ensure they meet the standards.

Why it matters: Quality management ensures that the deliverables meet the project requirements and stakeholder expectations.

🔄 How They Interrelate

Element	Role	Connection
Requirements	Define what must be delivered	Basis for WBS and quality standards
WBS	Organizes work to meet requirements	Ensures all requirements are covered
Quality Management	Ensures deliverables meet requirements	Uses requirements and WBS to define quality criteria and control points

✅ Example

If a requirement is to build a mobile app with a secure login:

The WBS will include a work package for "Develop secure login module."
Quality planning will define what "secure" means (e.g., encryption standards).
Quality control will test the login module against those standards.

WBS - Reach your goals by organizing the work in small parts which can be easily carried out and managed

A key factor for reaching a project goal is to have a clear Scope Statement and understanding of what needs to be done and delivered. However normally complex deliverables can block teamwork, in a way individuals focus on the work in what are more “explicit” defined, such as operational activities, including simple communications, small tasks, small improvements and corrections. However, the real work, which will move the project further, is left by side, losing space for the routines and operational tasks. For this purpose, a good WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) may assist the project to be smoothly achieved. When we can divide the work into a way the things that have to be constructed or done are detailed, reducing any doubt about the next step, the project planning has great chances of being properly executed. Each team member will understand what has to be done, even the ones with limited technical competence, thus reducing procrastination, which is normally incremented by doubt...
