Quality Assurance is the activity of gathering evidence that proves the project work is following high-quality standards, methodologies, and best practices. It seeks to allow us to be confident that the project will satisfy the desired scope and quality requirements within the project constraints.
Quality Assurance activities include determining whether appropriate project controls are in place, confirming that they are being implemented and assessing their effectiveness.
Quality Assurance activities are documented in the Quality Management Plan. These can be performed by the EU Project Manager (EUPM), the Project Quality Assurance (PQA) role, or other project roles such as the Project Core Team (PCT), the Domain Coordinator (DC). External audits undertaken by entities outside the project can also be defined.
