As an IT Project Manager, or any Project Manager for that matter, you know how important it is to ensure that your client is handed a final product that they will be pleased with. Broken software, incomplete programming and more will not only frustrate your client, but it will severely damage the reputation of your IT company. If you are creating any kind of network, system or software for a client, it is imperative that you have a specific QA system in place.

QA (Quality Assurance) is vital to any kind of project to ensure that the client does not see a version of the project that is not intended for them, that the final project works perfectly, and that the risks associated with producing projects is reduced to as low as possible. As a project manager, you are a form of QA testing, but it needs to go further than that. You need to test every area, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, ensuring that there will be no bugs when the client tries out your product for the first time.

With a quality assurance program in place, you will reduce costs associated with lawsuits, service calls, and other problems associated with an IT project.
