1. 1- DATA GATHERING  

A data-gathering technique that can be used for this process includes but is not limited to

checklists. A checklist is a structured tool, usually component-specific, used to verify that a

set of required steps has been performed or to check if a list of requirements has been satisfied.  

  1. 2- DATA ANALYSIS  

Data analysis techniques that can be used for this process include but are not limited to:  

  • * Alternatives analysis.

  •  This technique is used to evaluate identified options in order to

  • select which different quality options or approaches are most appropriate to use.  

  • * Document analysis.

  •  The analysis of different documents produced as part of the

  • output of project control processes, such as quality reports, test reports, performance

  • reports, and variance analysis, can point to and focus on processes that may be out of

  • control and may expose meeting the specified requirements or stakeholders’ expectations.  

  • * Process analysis.

  •  Process analysis identifies opportunities for process improvements.

  • This analysis also examines problems, constraints, and non-value-added activities that occur during a process.  

  • Root cause analysis (RCA).

  •  Root cause analysis is an analytical technique used to

  • determine the basic underlying reason that causes a variance, defect, or risk. A root

  • cause may underlie more than one variance, defect, or risk.  

  1. 3- DECISION MAKING  

A decision-making technique that can be used for this process includes but is not limited to

multicriteria decision analysis. Multicriteria decision making is used to evaluate several

criteria when discussing alternatives that impact project or product quality.
