Analysis of QA Requirements (qT1)

To be performed by
Designated QA manager (it is also expedient when initiating a project that QA considerations are undertaken by an "independent" person wherever possible).

Goals
To prepare the decision about whether to conduct the project, from the perspective of quality assurance. The results of this activity must be documented in the preliminary QA plan.

Execution
This involves the collection and evaluation of important QA requirements. The details already known from the preliminary requirements and any discussions with the client must be collated and analyzed in terms of their importance for the planned project (e.g. specified development method and life cycle approach, mandatory methods, procedures and tools; quality and quality assurance requirements; relevance to safety and security, and official safety certificates; certificates required, etc.).

Notes
When analyzing the QA requirements, the activities are focused primarily on collecting the requirements and the consequences they have for project management; the specific QA measures are not defined until the QA planning stage of the Definition phase.
