What to Look for in a Quality Assurance Provider: 8 Key Attributes for Project Success
When it comes to selecting a quality assurance provider for your project, the focus should not only be on technical expertise but also on the soft skills that truly make a difference. With years of experience in quality assurance, I’ve identified several key attributes that define an effective assurance provider, helping you navigate the complexities of your projects with confidence. Let’s explore the eight essential qualities your assurance provider should bring to the table.
Common Risks Within A Project Portfolio
Every project has its risks – it’s part of the territory. And a careful risk analysis of a project will typically surface a fair few items for a risk register to keep on the radar. It doesn’t take long then, for an organisation with multiple projects running, to become overwhelmed with understanding its business risk at any one time.
Preparing the business for a project
Perhaps you’re a business relatively new to the world of projects. Or maybe the business has gone through significant changes that create somewhat of a ‘clean slate’, meaning all processes and practices are up for improvement. You could also be an organisation that is delivering projects regularly but have a sense that they are harder to get through than they should be.
