Tailoring considerations
Because not everyone is mass-producing a product or developing software, it's essential to determine how to tailor your projects based on the necessity of quality and how your organization conforms to quality requirements. Remember, not everyone has a quality assurance or quality control department, or a bunch of Six Sigma black belts running around shouting things like "How many chocolate chips did you count? Wait…how many??!!" Therefore, it is our job to understand how our organizational policies impact our ability to tailor our project quality management. The following certainly isn't an exhaustive list, but more to the point, it covers some areas for consideration when embarking on a new deliverable with quality requirements:
- Policy compliance and auditing
- Standards and regulatory compliance
- Continuous improvement
- Stakeholder engagement
Many of the items are innate to you if you already are immersed...
