Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi All,

Does time affects quality or quality affects time?

May I ask your opinion.

Thanks and regards.

you need to differentiate Quality Control vs. Quality Assurance

Quality Control involves time....

Short answers is both, however in most projects the quality is set by the project specifications, and the time is the variable.

Hence quality affects time more often than time affects quality.

They're both interrelated, although there are things that can help run a project smoother/faster without sacrificing quality. A defined (and reasonable) process, for example. Or giving your team the right tools and training to get things done quickly and efficiently.

Hi Dominador

Doing things in a rush saves neither time nor money because invariably you have to put it right later.

Best regards
