Key Concepts in Project Management (Simplified)

1. Quality Assurance (QA)


QA means making sure everything in the project is done properly and meets the
required standards. It’s about doing things the right way from the beginning, so you
don’t have problems later.

2. QA Tools – Methods to Help Improve Quality:


- Lean: Get rid of anything that wastes time or resources.
- Six Sigma: Make things almost perfect by fixing mistakes using data.
- Kanban: A board that shows who is doing what – keeps work organized.
- Testing: Check if things work properly at different steps.
- Quality Control: Inspect the final results to catch mistakes.

3. What QA Focuses On
QA is about managing how work is done to avoid mistakes.
- Kanban: Helps you see and manage work clearly.
- Lean: Helps save time and resources.
- Six Sigma: Uses data to improve quality.

4. Cost and Risk Management


Planning how much money a project needs and spotting problems early to keep
things on track and avoid wasting time or money.

5. Workflow Design
Planning how work gets done:
Inputs (what you start with) → Activities (what you do) → Outputs (the result). The
goal is to make everything run smoothly.

6. Types of Organizational Structures in Projects


- Functional: People grouped by job type (e.g., marketing).
- Divisional: Groups based on product, place, or customer.
- Matrix: A mix – people report to both a project manager and a regular boss.

7. Structure Dimensions
How roles, responsibilities, and authority are arranged in a project (not explained in
detail above).
8. Collaborative Organizations
Workplaces where teams share ideas, make decisions together, and solve problems
faster with teamwork.
