Quality THEME
PRINCE2 Theme – Quality
The purpose of the Quality theme is to define and implement the means by which the project will create and verify products that are fit for purpose.
In addition to our PRINCE2 Foundation training and PRINCE2 Practitioner training courses in Brighton, Sussex, we can also arrange private Total Quality Management training.
The Quality theme defines the PRINCE2 approach to ensuring that the project’s products:
- Meet business expectations
- Enable the desired benefits to be achieved subsequently.
The ’product focus’ principle is central to PRINCE2’s approach to quality. It provides an explicit common
understanding of what the project will create (the scope) and the criteria against which the project’s products will be assessed (the quality). Without this understanding, the project would be exposed to major risks (such as acceptance disputes, rework, uncontrolled change, user dissatisfaction) that could weaken or invalidate the Business Case.
The Quality theme also covers the implementation of continuous improvement during the project – for example, looking for ways to introduce more efficiency or effectiveness into the management of the project and the project’s products. Capturing and acting on lessons contributes to the PRINCE2 quality approach, as it is a means of achieving continuous improvement.
PRINCE2 approach to quality
The specific treatment for quality in PRINCE2 is the focus on products from the outset, requiring systematic activities to:
- Identify all the project’s products (i.e. to the level at which the project intends to exert control).
- Define them in Product Descriptions – including the quality criteria by which they will be assessed; the quality methods to be used in designing, developing and accepting them; and the quality responsibilities of those involved.
- Implement and track the quality methods employed throughout the project.

Why Project Managers are so Valuable « Silicon Beach Training Blog says:
[...] In a competitive market-place, projects must be completed on-time and to budget – however Quality is equally important. It’s no good getting the job done fast and cheaply if the end project is low on quality, as the competitors superior product will win through. Experienced PMs are all to aware of the Cost of Quality, and PRINCE2 has a whole theme dedicated to Quality. [...]
