Abstract
IT SMEs as an important force can promote scientific and technological innovation and economic development, the effectiveness of project quality management mechanism is directly related to the survival and development of IT SMEs. This paper take IT SMEs as the research object, which deeply discusses the situation, existing problems and improvement strategies of the project quality management mechanism, and combines agile management and total quality management (TQM) theories to build a dynamic and adaptive project quality management mechanism. Through deeply analysis, the effectiveness of the mechanism is proposed, and the optimization path is proposed, aiming at providing theoretical support and practical guidance for enterprises to improve project delivery quality and enhance market competitiveness.
