Define the project deliverables
In this task, you will identify and clearly define the project deliverables. This includes the specific products, services, or results that need to be produced or provided as part of the project. Consider the desired outcomes and objectives of the project, as well as any constraints or limitations. Be sure to document your findings and communicate them effectively to the team.
Analyze the project scope
This task involves analyzing the project scope to gain a comprehensive understanding of what needs to be done. Consider all aspects of the project, including goals, objectives, tasks, timelines, and resources. Identify any potential challenges or risks that may affect the project's success. Communicate and collaborate with the project team to gather relevant information and ensure alignment.

Development of project quality requirements
In this task, you will develop the project quality requirements. Consider the desired level of quality for each deliverable and define the criteria that need to be met. This includes performance standards, functionality, usability, reliability, and any other relevant quality aspects. Collaborate with stakeholders, subject matter experts, and the project team to gather input and ensure comprehensive coverage of quality requirements.
Decide on the Quality Metrics
This task involves deciding on the quality metrics that will be used to measure the project's performance. Identify the key indicators that will help assess whether the project is meeting the defined quality requirements. Consider both quantitative and qualitative metrics, such as defect rates, customer satisfaction scores, adherence to standards, and stakeholder feedback. Collaborate with the project team to ensure alignment and obtain input on suitable metrics.

Define the Acceptance Criteria
In this task, you will define the acceptance criteria for each deliverable. These criteria specify the conditions that must be met for the deliverable to be considered complete and acceptable. Consider functionality, performance, usability, and other relevant factors. Collaborate with stakeholders and the project team to gather input and ensure comprehensive coverage of acceptance criteria.
Formulate the Definition of Done for each task
This task involves formulating the 'Definition of Done' for each task in the project. The Definition of Done outlines the criteria and conditions that must be met for a task to be considered complete. Consider factors such as completeness, correctness, documentation, and testing. Collaborate with the project team to ensure alignment and obtain input on the Definition of Done for each task.
Prepare Test Cases for each task
In this task, you will prepare test cases for each task in the project. Test cases are specific scenarios or conditions that are designed to validate whether a task has been implemented correctly and meets the desired requirements. Consider different inputs, edge cases, and potential failures. Collaborate with the project team to ensure comprehensive test coverage and obtain input on suitable test cases for each task.

Run Test Cases
This task involves running the test cases that have been prepared for each task. Execute the test cases and carefully observe the results. Document any deviations or failures encountered during testing. Collaborate with the project team to address any issues and make necessary adjustments to the tasks.
Document testing results
In this task, you will document the results of the testing conducted for each task. Record the outcomes of the test cases, including any deviations or failures. Document the steps taken to address issues and make necessary adjustments. Collaborate with the project team to ensure comprehensive documentation of testing results.
Check if all tasks meet the Acceptance Criteria
This task involves checking whether all tasks in the project meet the defined acceptance criteria. Review each task and assess whether it fulfills the specified criteria. Identify any deviations or non-compliance and document them for further action. Collaborate with the project team to address any gaps and ensure alignment with the acceptance criteria.
