## Prompt

```text
Help me write a quality management plan for my project.

**Project or feature:** [WHAT IS BEING BUILT and for whom]
**Requirements:** [key functional and non-functional requirements, or paste a spec]
**Quality expectations:** [e.g. "page loads under 2 seconds", "WCAG 2.2 AA", "zero critical defects at launch", internal or client standards]
**Team and roles:** [who builds, reviews, tests, and signs off]
**Timeline and constraints:** [deadline, budget, environments available]
**Methodology:** [agile / waterfall / hybrid]

Write the plan with these sections:
1. **Quality objectives:** measurable targets tied to the requirements.
2. **Standards and definitions:** coding, design, accessibility, security, or regulatory standards that apply; Definition of Ready and Definition of Done.
3. **Acceptance criteria:** testable criteria for each major requirement (use Given/When/Then where it helps).
4. **Quality assurance (preventing defects):** reviews, pairing, design checks, checklists, and when each happens.
5. **Quality control (finding defects):** test strategy by level — unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, security, accessibility, user acceptance — with what is automated vs. manual.
6. **Defect management:** severity and priority definitions, triage process, and exit criteria for release.
7. **Metrics and reporting:** e.g. defect density, escaped defects, test coverage of requirements, and who sees them how often.
8. **Roles and sign-off:** a RACI for quality activities.
9. **Risks to quality** and mitigations.

Keep it concise enough that the team will actually use it. Mark any target I haven't given you as [CONFIRM].
