Notes for Project Boards > Quality first!

The project started so now the Project Board can sit back. Not... ! Project Boards are the subject of this blog. We will continue to talk about the role of the Project Board. This time quality is at stake. What can a Project Board do to make sure the project and its results will meet all quality criteria?

From research one can learn the quality of the final product is determined by the quality of its parts which in their turn are determined by the quality of its production process. In a project we have a temporary organization with directors (you) and processes that should take place. And these processes should not only be executed but also adhere to certain demands and with some kind of evidence.

The organization that starts a project has a quality management system of some form that also sets quality criteria for projects. You, the Project Board are the link from organizational standards to project quality standards. So you have to make sure that the project arguably meets those standards. So agree on what quality standard are to be met. It is up to the project manager to make sure that happens.
