Abstract
Decades of evolution in the field of information systems, business processes and universal modelling notations has resulted in the creation of modern modelling languages, such as UML or BPMN. Elaborated languages concentrate on processes as activity flows without taking into account important management categories like quality or risk. These aspects permit the research thesis that there is a room for further modelling improvement especially in the field of quality management. Thus the article’s main objective is to propose modelling approach for quality management of processes that supports better quality management in projects. It starts by introducing the current state of modelling notations. The introduction is a starting point for the presentation of elaborated quality-oriented notation for the project management processes discussed in the second section as a separate diagram type. A sample model is also included, based on the notation developed and showing its capabilities. The third part of the article presents verification of elaborated approach for quality-oriented modelling of processes. The article concludes with a summary.

For all management categories included in Table 1 modelling notation was elaborated, but the paper concentrates only on quality management modelling as justified in the first part.
