For decades, the quality management process has been focused on and formalized around reviewing plans, with less attention paid to performing and documenting the quality management process on the digital CADD files used to create plans. This chapter provides a refresher on core quality management principles for two reasons: to provide a resource for individuals who are new to implementing quality management on agency data, and to offer justification for guidance in later chapters.

2.1.2 Quality Management for Software Products The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) has seven principles of quality management for software development that can be used as a methodological basis for 3D model reviews.

Creating information models based on the requirements defined by these standards requires specific QA and QC checks. Projects need to follow the information management process based on principles of information requirements, using CDE solutions and workflows.

2.2.1 Quality Management Manuals Quality management manuals typically document the agency's policies and procedures for implementing the quality management framework on projects. Core content includes • The policy for executing the quality management process on projects, including retention of quality artifacts, audits, certifications, and performance monitoring; • Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for executing the quality management process; • Clear criteria defining what "quality" means for the organization across its various technical domains;

A specific review scope defines what should be checked and highlighted, with different types of reviews producing multiple quality artifacts tracking different elements on the same plan set. A comment log that only tracks defects and their resolutions is insufficient; quality artifacts that record digital checks also need to provide evidence of checks where no defects were found.

Agencies that incorporate their quality management process into project management systems can introduce performance measures that are tracked automatically. These include • Tracking each quality management milestone and monitoring across the program, • Tracking certifications and monitoring compliance with policies related to letting, • Providing surveys for auditors to assess whether the core competencies needed to properly audit the project fall within their regular skill sets, and • Establishing an expiration date for quality management resources to push routine updates of the quality management framework.

The QC process is executed during the design phase of the quality management framework: 1. Start-up phase: Assign quality roles and develop a project quality plan.
