Quality is often defined by how well the project achieves its deliverables based on its success in meeting the schedule, the budget and the established scope. Yet it is more than that. As quality assurance contractors, we have spent years honing our craft through objective and subjective observations. Quality Assurance is the systematic measurement and monitoring of progress against standard practices that reduce risks and errors within a product or process. When correctly applied, it allows organizations to understand the challenges and complex issues inherent in programs, operations, and technology projects.
In summary, quality assurance:
To ensure quality remains at the forefront of a project, Sightline consultants employ a broad framework for implementing quality management that integrates subjective and objective criteria throughout each project.
While many quality assurance consultants are skilled at applying checklists and understanding the objective criteria, we have found it equally important to apply an artistic lens to each project. Some of the most critical issues increasing risks to projects are those related to perceptions, expectations or inadequate communications.
In our experience, engaging staff, customers and other stakeholders in key initiatives dramatically increases the likelihood of success. Organizations that find meaningful ways to collaborate with stakeholders end up with more efficient and innovative approaches to problem- solving.
