How do program managers ensure quality throughout the program?

Program managers ensure quality throughout the program by implementing quality assurance practices and conducting regular audits. These practices involve systematically evaluating processes and outputs to ensure they meet predefined quality standards. Quality assurance helps in identifying potential issues early in the development lifecycle, allowing for timely corrective actions. Regular audits further enhance this process by providing an objective assessment of compliance with established quality measures and procedures.

By focusing on these practices, program managers can proactively manage risks associated with quality, ensuring that both the product and the processes involved in creating it align with organizational standards and stakeholder expectations. This systematic approach to quality control and enhancement is essential for delivering successful outcomes in any program.
