Each role is assigned to their associated
roles and responsibilities are allocated to
the designated member of the project
team.
As this project is a small-scaled project,
the project management team structure

For flexibility purpose, multiple roles will
be assigned to the same set of people. For
example, the project assurance team
members will also undertake the role of
the project support.

•Pobe & Sons existing QMS and ISO
9000 certifications form an overarching
quality strategy, defining the quality
assurance approach.
• Customers’ expectations of quality are
determined in the project product
Description and are a starting point from
which the quality management can be
created.
•An overarching quality management
system will be implemented to ensure the
product is fit for purpose and also the
project is efficient.
