TS ISO 10006

TS ISO 10006 provides guidelines for quality management in projects. In the context of project work, quality management helps align planning, execution, monitoring, and control with the intended project results. Rather than prescribing product-specific requirements, this standard focuses on how quality management principles can be applied within a project environment.

Why project quality management needs its own perspective

Projects differ from routine operations because they are temporary, goal-oriented, and often produce unique outcomes. For that reason, quality is not limited to checking the final deliverable; it also involves managing decisions, processes, resources, and stakeholder expectations throughout the project life cycle. In general technical terms, quality management in projects includes understanding requirements, planning appropriately, controlling changes, considering risks, and helping ensure that deliverables fit their intended purpose.

What this standard adds as a framework

• It serves as guidance for applying quality management in project work.
• It links quality management to project processes rather than focusing only on the final output.
• It supports common reference points for objectives, stakeholder expectations, and process consistency.
• It offers a general approach that can be adapted across different sectors and project types.

As a result, TS ISO 10006 treats quality as an integral part of project management rather than a separate after-the-fact check. It is especially relevant where projects are complex, involve multiple stakeholders, or deliver outcomes that cannot be easily standardized.
