assurance (QA) department or an outside consultant.
positive outcomes of the audit correct answers Identifying issues before we go into production
Identifying best practices that can be adopted by future project teams
Identifying lessons learned that can improve performance on other projects
Identifying problems that can be corrected before additional costs are incurred
