ACCORDION D1.2 - Quality assurance plan

This Project Quality Plan shows how quality aspects are considered in a variety of processes and activities within the ACCORDION project. The interrelated quality processes - planning, assurance and control - have impact on the project work from its start to its end. o Quality planning refers to quality policies like meetings, deliverables or publication policies, the definition of responsibilities as well as to manage the processes, in conjunction with the tasks dealing with the impact maximization activities, for the creation of a project visual identity including a project logo, project-like designed templates, website etc. In order to communicate adequately within the project as well as to project external persons, several collaborative tools, such as project policies including meetings, minutes, deliverables and the publication process of scientific papers, are established and explained in this document. o Quality assurance involves the establishment of Interim Management Reports, clear responsibilities and regular, clearly guided teleconferences. A well-defined internal review process further supports the quality assurance of deliverables. The plan is effective throughout the lifetime of the project but is open to revision if necessary. Responsibilities for quality planning, assurance and control are shared between all partners, which allow various views on quality issues in order to reach the optimal outcome.
