Key Points

  • Indicates the degree of correctness of a result or output.
  • Different from precision, which relates to consistency or repeatability.
  • High accuracy means results are very close to the actual or desired value.
  • Used as a measure of quality in project deliverables and processes.

Example

During quality control testing, if a project team measures the length of a component and the result is 100.1 cm when the true length is 100 cm, the measurement is considered accurate.
