(Davis, 2004) It is also crucial that project management have specifications that can be tested to meet definable standards of quality or the project will be a likely source of conflict. Ultimately, achieving a specific goal of quality, within a specific time limit and according to a certain standard is the point of the process of project development, not simply to meet a time goal, nor to meet a budget, nor to execute a design perfectly. (LASER, 2004) The ideal of quality is that all such goals must be commensurate. All elements must come together at the same time to meet a specific organizational goal during the project lifecycle. It is easy...

The aim of a theory of quality that encompasses design, cost, and specific goals on a timetable is to merge these ideas into one, realistic scope of reference that is effective yet efficient.
