What is Quality Assurance?

- QA is not architecture! - it is the documentation of your current business (i.e. architecture) practices with a view to continual improvement of the process.

 

- Having QA means implementing a business management manual (via procedures, project plans, templates and checklists) that outlines clear requirements for staff to operate under. That's it!

Why should I get QA?

- For clients, the QA system ensures that they receive a consistent level of high quality professional service.

 

- For staff, this system provides clarity of guidance and instruction as to the requirements of process and procedure within the office practice.

 

- For the firm, it allows for a continual improvement of the methodology required to produce detailed, clear and concise documentation.

 

-Ensures effective time and financial management which is key to maintaining a profitable business.

 

- Increases project opportunities - Government Institutions require QA Certification for tenderers.

"If you have been running a profitable business for some years and haven't been sued; then you already have a quality assurance system, but may  not have documented it."
