You are the project manager for your organization and you’re currently mentoring Marcy in the principles of project management. She does not understand the difference between quality and grade. Which of the following statements would best explain to Marcy what grade is?
- A Grade is the degree of perfection a component has.

- D Grade is the category or rank given to project work as deemed by the customer.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Grade, according to the PMP Study Guide, “is a category or rank given to entities having the same functional use but different technical characteristics.” 1 is incorrect. Grade and perfection may seem related, but a high grade of a component may still have multiple imperfections. 3 is incorrect because the products being measured for grade have the same functionality, but different characteristics. Consider travel, where travelers have coach, business class, and first class. 4 is incorrect. The customer has input to the quality and desire for a particular grade of the component, but does not determine what the grade may be.Discussion
