Total Quality Management: "A core definition of total quality management (TQM) describes a management approach to long–term success through customer satisfaction. In a TQM effort, all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work."

CMMI: "Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process level improvement training and appraisal program. ... CMU claims CMMI can be used to guide process improvement across a project, division, or an entire organization. CMMI defines the following maturity levels for processes: Initial, Managed and Defined."

CPI: "A continual improvement process, also often called a continuous improvement process (abbreviated as CIP or CI), is an ongoing effort to improve products, services, or processes. These efforts can seek "incremental" improvement over time or "breakthrough" improvement all at once."

Six Sigma: "Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service."

Risk Management:

Risk Mitigation Planning (it used to be called Risk Handling) is the process that identifies, evaluates, selects, and implements options in order to set risk at acceptable levels given program constraints and objectives. This includes the specifics on what should be done, when it should be accomplished, who is responsible, and associated cost and schedule. The most appropriate strategy is selected from these mitigation options: [1, 2]
Risk Avoidance
Rick Controlling
Risk Transfer/Sharing
Risk Assumption"

"The Integrated Master Plan (IMP) is an event-based, top level plan consisting of a hierarchy of Program Events.  Each event is decomposed into specific accomplishments and each specific accomplishment is decomposed into specific Criteria.  The IMP is ultimately used to develop a time-based Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) to shows a networked, multi-layered schedule showing all the detailed tasks required to accomplish the work effort contained in the IMP. The IMP and IMS related to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The IMP provides a Program Manager (PM) with a systematic approach to planning, scheduling and execution."

Integrated Master Schedules: "The Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) is a time-based schedule containing the networked, detailed tasks necessary to ensure successful program/contract execution. The IMS is traceable to the Integrated Master Plan (IMP), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Statement of Work (SOW), Contractor Performance Report (CPR) and Earn Value Management system (EVMS). The IMS is used to verify attainability contract objectives, to evaluate progress toward meeting program objectives, and to integrate the program schedule activities with all related components. The Program Manager (PM) develops an IMS on all cost or incentive contracts, subcontracts, Government Interagency Acquisition work agreements, and other agreements valued at or greater than $20 million. [1]The IMS utilizes Critical Path network management techniques to optimize the relationship of critical activities. It uses the same (3) three; Events, Accomplishments, and Criteria to show network relationships; as IMP."
