Question 102
Which of the following statements about quality assurance and Project Assurance is true?
Project Assurance is the responsibility of the corporate organization; quality assurance is the responsibility of the Project Board
Project Assurance is independent of the Project; quality assurance is only independent of the Project Manager
Project Assurance may be delegated within a project; quality assurance must be undertaken by the Project Board
Project Assurance ensures compliance to standards within the project environment; quality assurance ensures compliance across the organization
Answer is Project Assurance ensures compliance to standards within the project environment; quality assurance ensures compliance across the organization
It is important not to confuse quality assurance with project assurance:
Quality assurance provides a check that the project's direction and management are adequate for the nature of the project and that it complies with relevant corporate, programme management or customer standards and policies. Quality assurance is therefore independent of the project.
Project assurance is the project board's responsibility to assure itself that the project is being conducted correctly. The project board members each have a specific area of focus for project assurance, namely business assurance for the executive, user assurance for the senior user(s) and supplier assurance for the senior supplier(s). Project assurance is therefore independent of the project manager but not independent of the project.
