This task will set up: (a) a quality assurance plan for the project, which will ensure the quality of deliverables and monitor the quality of the technical work; and (b) a shared risk log, containing descriptions, analysis and strategies for reducing risk in the project, which will be maintained by the PM team and regularly updated. The task will be responsible for ensuring that the project’s developments are compliant with existing ethical standards and guidelines.

A Data Management Plan will be created within this task, outlining how the generated or collected data will be handled during the project, as well as after its completion.

Deliverables:

• • 1 Data Management Plan (DMP) – M3
  • 2 Project Management and Quality Assurance Plan (PMP) – M6
