3. Roles and Responsibilities for Quality Management Responsibilities within and beyond the Programme should be covered. E.g. the involvement of any corporate Quality Assurance function should be defined

4. Quality management activities, their triggers and guidance on their use E.g. Depending on the purpose and context of the programme some of the following may be appropriate: • • • • • • • • Programme Audits Project Audits Supplier Audits Compliance Audits OGC Gateway Reviews Healthchecks Quality Reviews of specific project outputs Readiness reviews prior to transition being approved

Some triggers will be time-based (e.g. perhaps half-yearly programme audits to ensure compliance with corporate Programme Management standards). Others will be linked to events and milestones in the Programme: e.g. the SRO/Sponsoring Group might wish for a Healthcheck or Gateway to be carried out prior to any decision concerning a financial commitment above a threshold value.
