Submitted by yaliabde on Thu, 07/11/2013 - 23:13

Dear All,

Please help me understand the differnece between  scope verification / Inspection & Audit / Quality control - example, the below question :

Visiting a construction site to ensure the work being done is the same work called out in the requirements is called:

  1. Site auditing

  2. Scope verification

  3. Quality control

  4. Requirements traceability

 

 

Answer is B)

 

My understaning is the scope verification: is the fomal acceptance from the customer regarding the deliverable

Quality control : is monitoring the technical part to make sure that the deliverable meets the technical requirement

audit / Inspection: Is a review to make sure that the process & standards are followed.

Please let me know if my understanding is correct & how to select the correct answer. for the above question, i choosed C .

In Quality Control, we DO NOT take any input to compare against requirements. The input is Deliverables from Direct and Manage Execution to produce validated deliverables. It does use inspection of deliverables against Quality Metrics, checklists but NOT requirements.

Validated deliverables are then passed as input to Scope verification. This is for formal acceptance and it is done along with the customer. But this is the verification process which takes requirement documentation as an input to compare against and produce accepted deliverables.

 

So answer shall be B.

Let me know your views.

 Scope verification is simply going to the customer with the deliverables they ask for and asking them

"Is this what you want? Have we covered everythin you need?.. Please Accept or Reject".
