These three processes are part of the Project Quality Management Knowledge Area in PMI’s PMBOK® Guide (6th & 7th editions).

• Plan Quality Management focuses on defining quality requirements and standards for the project deliverables and processes.
• Manage Quality (formerly “Perform Quality Assurance”) ensures that the planned quality processes are implemented, effectively translating plans into actionable activities.
• Control Quality involves measuring outcomes and verifying that deliverables meet established requirements by monitoring and recording results.

This mapping ensures a project systematically plans, executes, and verifies quality standards.
