The Quality Management Plan records how the project will meet its quality objectives: the standards and policies that apply, how each quality requirement is measured, who is responsible, which deliverables and processes are reviewed, and how nonconformances are handled. It is a component of the project management plan in the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition. This template follows the components the Guide lists and adds a section for adaptive approaches, so a team that works in iterations can also use it.
