Small Projects Rely on Quality Activities Instead of Quality Processes

TechRepublic has written about "Small Projects Rely on Quality Activities Instead of Quality Processes" in Builder-AU on 10-Sep-2004. To quote:-

Project managers of small projects don't have the luxury of a formal quality process. Instead, small projects require individual quality activities.
eg.
* Discussing the importance of quality at team status meetings.
* Using preexisting templates and checklists to manage certain aspects of work.
* Performing walk-throughs and inspections on deliverable components as they are built.
* Getting the client involved in testing as early as possible.
* Identifying simple metrics that can be collected early, with the hope that you can make one or maybe two rounds of improvements before the work gets too far along.
