The Producer is responsible for developing a product, the reviewer assesses whether a product meets its requirements as defined in its product description, and the Approver is authorized to approve a product as complete and fit for purpose.
In-Process quality methods are the means by which quality can be built into the product while it is being developed. Appraisal methods are used to assess the finished products for competencies and fitness for purpose.
A Quality Inspection is a systematic assessment of a product conducted in a documented organized fashion. It can be used in product development either formally or informally.
Quality Records supports entries in the quality register through assurance that products are complete, and fit for intended purposes. It also shows records of quality failures and corrections.
The PRINCE2 quality review is to assess the conformity of a product against quality criteria, assess product quality, and confirm that the product is ready for approval.
The role of Review teams is to ensure that the review is undertaken properly. The presenter introduces the product for review and represents the producers of the product.
Preparing for reviews; make administrative agreements with the chair administrator, check the product and reviewers' chair are ready for review, distribute copies of the product to the review team, review the product in line with the quality criteria,
Some action points to follow up a review meeting include; coordinating actions, signing off individual actions, communicating the quality review outcome to appropriate managers, storing the quality records, and requesting approval.
Reviewers should ensure to avoid personalizing issues, operate as a team and defer to specialist areas where necessary. Also, they should not introduce trivial issues like grammatical errors at reviews; this takes off some of the pressure from people with dyslexia. Reviewers should also come well-prepared. Too much time should not be given for responses as this may invite too many comments. Generally speaking, even having too many meetings is not necessary; Shopify, for example, has taken practical steps to cancel recurring meetings deemed unnecessary. There should be a complete focus on the main product, not related products.
PRINCE2 defines a project as a temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed business case.
