Quality Practice
Specify user expectations and acceptance criteria, then plan, control and assure that products remain fit for purpose.
How to prepare for PRINCE2 Version 7
Build the project and principle foundations first, integrate people throughout the method, then connect each practice with the seven-process lifecycle and scenario tailoring.
Core concepts
Concept 1
The practice documents user requirements and establishes how products will be fit for purpose.
Exam cue: Use acceptance criteria for the project product and quality specifications for component products.
Concept 2
User quality expectations lead to measurable acceptance criteria and product quality specifications.
Exam cue: Separate delivery-team quality control from independent quality assurance.
Concept 3
Product descriptions, the quality management approach, quality register and product register support the practice.
Concept 4
Quality planning sets expectations, quality control tests products and quality assurance provides independent confidence.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Confusing quality assurance with product inspection.
Guardrail: Do not choose a process or role by keyword alone; confirm context, authority, product and decision purpose.
Using vague expectations that cannot support acceptance.
Guardrail: Do not choose a process or role by keyword alone; confirm context, authority, product and decision purpose.
