The Quality Assurance Framework
views on whether Quality was properly assured in that NFE project according to the framework proposed here.
> What next? If your organisation has successfully taken part in a QA cycle, you have probably found the benefits of following this process. The cycle doesn’t end in a feedback meeting, because representatives are expected to go back to their respective organisations and somehow digest the whole process and results. You will have learned about other peers and their practices, but you will probably have also gained new knowledge about your organisation. Maybe there are some improvements to be made, or new approaches to be experimented with, but the bottom line is, you will leave the process as a renewed organisation with new concepts, skills and a wider awareness of different practices. Besides the learning you went through, you can also take it to the next level: start implementing the proposed QA framework in your future NFE projects! It’s easier now that you have done it once and there is always this manual to help you. For best results, you can also find your own peers to work with, spreading the concept and helping others to be a part of this. Check out chapter 2.2.3 again - it is about finding peers and making the best of them. Maybe some of the organisations you worked with as a participant are interested in keeping the peer group working! That’s a good way to start. That, and reading this manual again with fresh eyes!
