TAILIEUCHUNG - Measuring and Managing Project Quality - If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it

Just do it! Every team member should know what they have to do and should have the right resources to get the job done They should know what the risks are and have back up plans in case of trouble. During this stage, the project manager is responsible for coordinating, though group members should communicate among themselves as required. If a group member feels he is going to go overtime/budget, it is their responsibility to bring it up to the group as soon as possible.
