Which of the following statements about customer's quality expectations and acceptance criteria are true?

1. Customer's quality expectations form a specific and precise list of measurable criteria that a project product should meet in order to be acceptable to key stakeholders.

2. Acceptance criteria are often expressed in broad terms as a means to gain common understanding of general quality requirements.

  1. Only 1 is true
  2. Only 2 is true
  3. Both 1 and 2 are true
  4. Neither 1 or 2 are true

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In PRINCE2®, customer's quality expectations (CQEs) are a high-level statement of what the customer expects from the project and are often expressed in broad terms. They are not necessarily measurable on their own but provide a sense of general quality requirements. In contrast, acceptance criteria are specific and precise; they form the list of conditions that a project product must meet to be accepted by key stakeholders. Therefore, statement 1 is false, and statement 2 correctly describes the customer's quality expectations.

Which is part of quality control?

  1. Document the project's acceptance criteria in the Project Product Description

  3. Produce quality records to show that the planned quality activities have been carried out
  4. Maintain the corporate organization's quality management system

Which statement about the quality review technique is FALSE?

  1. It enables a check to be made on a product's fitness for purpose
  2. It defines the quality responsibilities of the project team
  3. It supports the management of future changes by providing a baseline for a product
  4. It is used to gain wider acceptance of a product by involving key interested parties

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The statement that the quality review technique defines the quality responsibilities of the project team is false. The quality review technique in PRINCE2 primarily focuses on checking the product's fitness for purpose, involving key parties to gain wider acceptance, and providing a baseline to manage future changes, but does not specifically define the quality responsibilities of the team.
