Control Quality is the process of monitoring and recording results of executing the quality activities to assess
performance and recommend necessary changes. The key benefits of this process include: (1) identifying the
causes of poor process or product quality and recommending and/or taking action to eliminate them; and (2)
validating that project deliverables and work meet the requirements specified by key stakeholders necessary for
final acceptance. The inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of this process are depicted in Figure 8-11. Figure
8-12 depicts the data flow diagram of the process.
