THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
The scope should identify the applicable requirements, evidence reviewed and the authority to raise findings. Any claim of independence needs to reflect the actual delivery relationships.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
An independent reviewer checks agreed documentation and observes selected activities against a project quality plan.
A useful distinction
QA is not identical to checking individual outputs, and a review does not guarantee every result.
Questions to ask when it appears in a scope
- What area, activity and decision does this term refer to?
- What evidence or output will the project team receive?
- What limitations need to be carried into the next stage?
