Here's how you can guarantee quality control and deliver top-notch projects as a project manager.

Definir metas claras e alcan?áveis é fundamental para o controle de qualidade na gest?o de projetos. Como gerente de projeto, trabalhe com sua equipe e clientes para estabelecer objetivos específicos, mensuráveis, relevantes e com prazo (conhecidos como objetivos SMART). Esses objetivos devem estar alinhados com a vis?o do cliente e o propósito do projeto. Ao fazer isso, você cria um roteiro para o sucesso, orientando os esfor?os da equipe e fornecendo uma referência para medir a qualidade em cada estágio do projeto.

Start by clearly defining the project objectives and requirements in collaboration with stakeholders. Ensure that everyone involved understands and agrees upon the project's scope, deliverables, and quality expectations. This clarity will serve as a foundation for quality control throughout the project.

Defining clear and achievable goals is essential for quality control and successful project delivery. It provides direction, enables measurement and evaluation, aligns stakeholders, mitigates risks, optimizes resource allocation, ensures quality and promotes collaboration.

In my opinion it sets a foundation for planning, execution, and assessment, ensuring everyone understands the project's purpose and desired results.

Delegation is a key component in People Management. No man knows it all. By delegation, you also learn from others and add to your bag of knowledge. The downline develops confidence and mutual trust exists with the attendant sense of recognition and belonging.

El éxito de un proyecto viene dado por la formación de un gran equipo. Por ello, es importante conformar un equipo competente y experimentado, donde se fomente la colaboración y la participación activa de todas las áreas involucradas. Esto es esencial, ya que impulsa el compromiso de los participantes y asegura altos estándares de calidad.

Build a team in a way that it includes: - diverse team members, basis experience, gender etc. - technical experts (the go-to-guys) - a people leader that encourages transparency & empowerment - collaborative team that promotes peer/ supervisor review of the deliverable

Construir uma equipe competente é fundamental para o sucesso do projeto. Selecione indivíduos com habilidades e experiência adequadas, promovendo uma cultura de comunica??o aberta e colabora??o. Incentive-os a se apropriarem do trabalho, aumentando o engajamento e o compromisso com padr?es de alta qualidade ao longo do ciclo de vida do projeto.

Try to choose people who are willing to work as a team, Rather than choosing an individual who prefers to work all alone as a 'lone wolf'. I agree that in cricket a batsman can make a century but he/she can't the win the match all alone, Same way if you want to deliver a project you will need a team. So choose your people wisely. :)

It ensures the right mix of expertise, enhancing problem-solving, innovation, and efficiency, and creates a cohesive unit focused on achieving the project's objectives effectively.

O planejamento da qualidade é o processo de estabelecer objetivos e metas relacionados à qualidade, bem como as estratégias e a??es necessárias para alcan?á-los. Envolve identificar padr?es de qualidade relevantes, definir requisitos dos clientes e selecionar métodos e ferramentas de controle de qualidade. Um plano bem elaborado direciona a manuten??o da qualidade e fornece estrutura durante a execu??o do projeto.

Define clear quality standards and metrics that will be used to measure the success and quality of the project. These may include factors such as functionality, performance, reliability, usability, and customer satisfaction. Ensure that these standards are communicated to the team and incorporated into the project plan.

Quality and delivery should go hand in hand. Many a times, we focus on on-time delivery and tend to neglect quality thinking that we will stabilize later. But this way, we will always fail to deliver. Implementing robust quality assurance (QA) processes is essential for ensuring that a project meets its quality standards and delivers value to stakeholders. Also we should implement peer reviews where team members review each other’s work to catch errors and suggest improvements. This will promote accountability and knowledge sharing.

"Plan Quality" ensures project deliverables meet defined standards and stakeholder expectations. It involves setting quality criteria, identifying metrics, and implementing processes to prevent defects, enhancing overall efficiency, customer satisfaction, and project success.

Incorporate quality assurance processes into your project management approach. This may involve conducting reviews, inspections, or audits at key stages of the project to identify and address any quality-related issues. Use checklists, templates, and standardized procedures to ensure consistency and adherence to quality standards. Regularly monitor the progress and performance of the project to identify any deviations from the plan or quality issues. Track key performance indicators (KPIs) related to quality, such as defect rates, customer feedback, or adherence to specifications. Use project management tools and techniques to stay informed and take timely corrective actions.

Monitorar o progresso é fundamental para manter o projeto alinhado com os benchmarks de qualidade. Utilize relatórios de progresso, reuni?es e auditorias para avaliar o desempenho em rela??o aos padr?es definidos. Esse monitoramento contínuo permite identificar desvios do plano de qualidade e corrigi-los prontamente, mantendo o controle sobre a qualidade do projeto e direcionando-o conforme necessário.

Para asegurar el éxito del proyecto se requiere un correcto seguimiento a través de reuniones periódicas para revisar el progreso, debatir observaciones y recoger input de las áreas involucradas. Los acuerdos siempre deben quedar plasmados en actas, donde sesión a sesión, se pueda verificar que se cumplan puntualmente.

Dice un dicho que: “lo que no se mide no se mejora”. Definitivamente, estoy convencido que la evaluación y medición objetiva de un proyecto (del cumplimiento de objetivos a través de sus metas y acciones) es fundamental. Y cuando hablo de objetivo, es que muchas veces nos sujetamos a subjetividades, a evaluar “suave y condescendiente” para no perder el compromiso del equipo. Sí hay compromiso real con el proyecto, se verá en la evaluación, en la medición, la oportunidad de seguir mejorando y de enderezar el camino si de pronto el proyecto empieza a desviarse de su objeto final. Debemos pasar de esas evaluaciones cuya meta es que nadie se resienta, a mediciones que, con respeto y buena comunicación, se marque las áreas de oportunidad…!!!

Identify potential risks and develop risk mitigation strategies to minimize their impact on the project's quality. Regularly review and update the risk management plan throughout the project lifecycle. Address risks promptly and involve relevant stakeholders in risk management activities.

This is where being agile and internalizing what agile means matters most. Most of the project that fails, they fail mainly due to rigid nature of deliverables and goals that are set cast in stone to satisfy a particular agenda or someone's ego. As a project manager, it is important to understand the dynamic needs of the project, resources - time, people and technology all combined should be aligned and realigned as per the needs. Operation excellence is equally important - no matter how large or small a project is. Now with the help of the technological tools, and GenAI, there are so many ways to compare, benchmark and predict what can be the best utilization of resources to align with the need of the hour to stay of top of the timelines.

Involve stakeholders at appropriate stages of the project to gather feedback, validate requirements, and ensure alignment with their expectations. Regularly communicate project updates, milestones, and any changes that may impact quality. Engaging stakeholders promotes a sense of ownership and accountability for quality outcomes.

In my experience, stakeholders engagement must be done from the beginning, actually even before the project starts. There is a lot of interests in an organization, including peronal gains and objectives.

O engajamento das partes interessadas é fundamental para o sucesso da entrega de um projeto. Manter as partes interessadas informadas e envolvidas ao longo do ciclo de vida do projeto é essencial. Atualiza??es regulares e oportunidades de feedback permitem que as partes interessadas expressem preocupa??es e sugiram melhorias. Sua contribui??o é inestimável para manter o controle de qualidade, pois oferecem perspectivas diversas que podem destacar áreas de aprimoramento que você e sua equipe podem ter negligenciado.

From the beginning of the project it is important to have communication with the stakeholders. Omitting one or more of them, is a mistake that will generate complications in the future. However, this is not exhaustive, they can be incorporated as the project progresses, as necessary. Maintaining thorough communication in an organized and sequential manner is essential to avoid wasting time.

Tener claro el objetivo y alcance del proyecto es clave. Así conoceremos a quiénes debemos involucrar. Además de identificar a las partes necesarias e interesadas desde el inicio, para evitar reprocesos y demoras durante la ejecución del proyecto.

Para garantir um engajamento eficaz, considere os seguintes passos: Identifica??o das Partes Interessadas: Liste todas as partes interessadas relevantes para o projeto, incluindo clientes, usuários, patrocinadores, equipe do projeto e outros envolvidos. Classifica??o do Engajamento: Classifique as partes interessadas com base em seu nível de envolvimento (desinformado, resistente, neutro, apoiador ou líder). Comunica??o Proativa: Mantenha as partes interessadas atualizadas sobre o progresso, desafios e mudan?as no projeto. Use canais de comunica??o adequados para cada grupo. Feedback Contínuo: Solicite feedback regularmente e esteja aberto a sugest?es e preocupa??es. Isso ajuda a ajustar o curso do projeto conforme necessário.

7. CONTAR CON LOS RECURSOS óPTIMOS No me refiero a utilizar recursos a manera de prueba y error, donde no se utilicen a consciencia. Pero contar con los recursos materiales necesarios para un proyecto es fundamental, es un elemento que da seriedad y motivación. Que quienes participen en el proyecto, que el “patrocinador” (cuando lo haya), no lromievan los excesos de recursos, no apoyen los desperdiciones, pero que no tengan reparo en aportar lo que realmente necesitan quienes llevan adelante el proyecto. Porque, qué decepcionante intentar llevar adelante algo en el que no te aportan lo necesario: o se siente la seriedad o el deseo de llevarlo realmente adelante. Este aspecto también es fundamental para el compromiso y la motivación…!!!
