PM@SUMMSO has now implemented the "ISO10006:2003, Guidelines for Quality Management in Projects" standard in our consulting procedures besides the quality procedures from PMBOK (PMI standard). The IS0 10006 guideline outlines quality management principles and practices as they relate to the management of projects. It provides the guidance on quality issues that impact projects and its profits. It is applicable to projects of varying complexity, size and length. The guidelines can be applied to projects managed by an individual or by a team or for a program (large project comprised of smaller but interrelated projects) or for a portfolio of projects.
Since the ISO 10006 is a guidance document, its intention is not for use in certification or registration purposes. Its overall purpose is to create and maintain quality in projects through a systematic process that ensures:
- Stated and implied needs of customers are understood and met.
- Interested stakeholders needs are understood and evaluated.
- The organization’s quality policy is incorporated into the management of projects.
- The direct positive impact to the profit of the project in view of the PM@SUMMSO Balanced Score Card
