"This text provides one-stop shopping for anyone seeking guidance on project quality management. Thank goodness for its publication! There is an abundance of books on production-oriented quality, but little that pertains to the special case of projects. Projects are different: they are dynamic, unique, and agents of change. Ken Rose has captured their special nature beautifully while at the same time giving solid coverage of traditional perspectives. Professors, their students, and practitioners will love this book." -J. Davidson Frame, Ph.D., PMP, PMI Fellow, Academic Dean, University of Management and Technology; "Featuring quality foundations, early pioneers, and the link to project management; tools to use for success; and exercises, case studies, points to ponder, and detailed references, Project Quality Management: Why, What and How by Ken Rose is the definitive book on this most significant area for project professionals at all levels in the marketplace - a must read!" -Dr. Ginger Levin, PMP, PgMP, OPM3 Certified Professional, Consultant, Author, and Educator

Project Quality Management: Why, What and How, Second Edition demonstrates how to implement the general methods defined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge—Fifth Edition (PMBOK Guide) and augments those methods with more detailed, hands-on procedures that have been proven through actual practice. This edition presents case examples that illuminate the theory of quality planning, assurance, and control with real-world narratives, including situation, analysis, and lessons learned. It also provides course discussion points and practical exercises at the end of each chapter. In its first edition, Project Quality Management was the recipient of the 2006 PMI David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award. The award-winner offered project managers a specific, succinct, step-by-step project quality management process found nowhere else. This second edition features updated and enhanced material that meets the needs of practitioners, trainers, college instructors, and their students! Course instructor material is also available.
