Quality Audits

Quality audits are systematic, independent reviews that verify whether project work follows the organization’s and project’s established policies, processes, and procedures.

Key Points

  • Performed by an impartial party (e.g., PMO or QA) to avoid bias.
  • Checks compliance with defined policies, processes, and procedures; highlights nonconformities.
  • Identifies good practices and recommends corrective or preventive actions.
  • Can be scheduled or ad hoc; results feed lessons learned and process improvements.

Example

Midway through a construction project, the QA team conducts a quality audit to review safety logs, inspection checklists, and change control records. They confirm whether crews are following approved procedures and document gaps, recommending training and updates to the site checklist.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
