What is the degree to which a project and its components meet the Owner's expectations, objectives, standards, and intended purpose?

• A. Quality Control
• B. Quality Attributes
• C. Quality
• D. Quality Assurance

Answer: (C)

Quality is the degree to which a project and its components meet the Owner's expectations, objectives, standards, and intended purpose. It’s about fitness for use and conformance to the defined requirements that the owner cares about, not merely about finding or fixing defects. Quality control refers to the activities that detect defects in deliverables to ensure they meet specified requirements. Quality assurance covers the systematic processes and practices designed to build quality into the project from the start. Quality attributes are the specific properties (like performance, reliability, or safety) used to describe what quality means for a given system, but they are not the overall measure of how well the project satisfies the owner’s goals. So the best term for describing the overall measure of meeting owner expectations is quality.
