What is a Quality Audit?

The Quality Audit in project management is analogous to having a mechanic assess your automobile to ensure that it is working well. It is a systematic evaluation or assessment of project processes, methods, or deliverables to ensure they meet stated quality criteria. The audit detects any areas that may not meet the established criteria and assists in determining where adjustments or corrections are required. Essentially, it is a thorough investigation to ensure that the project is on track and delivers the required level of quality.
