NICHES_D6.2_Quality Assurance and Risk ...

This Quality Assurance and Risk Management Plan (Deliverable 6.2) summarises the main procedures within the project for quality assurance of deliverables and risk management. The Plan aims to foster the efficient, effective and high-quality delivery of NICHES outputs and the appropriate management of overarching and WP-specific risks. Risk management and contingency planning will be carried out throughout the project to ensure that the project strategy, tasks, deliverables, and budget are met. The Quality Assurance and Risk Management Plan is therefore intended to be an internal guiding document for use by NICHES partners to successfully mitigate the negative impact of (potential) risks in the project and follow streamlined procedures to ensure high quality deliverables. The document Is not legally binding and leaves room for adaptation where deemed appropriate, in discussion with the project coordinator. As a living document, information can be updated in more detail as the project progresses and in case any unforeseen changes occur.
