Tasks of Different Team

User management assumes ownership of the project and resulting system, allocates qualified representatives to the team, and actively participates in system requirements definition, acceptance testing and user training. User management should review and approve system deliverables as they are defined and accomplished or implemented.

A project steering committee provides overall direction, ensures appropriate representation of the major stakeholders in the project's outcome, reviews project progress regularly and holds emergency meetings when required. A project steering committee is ultimately responsible for all deliverables, project costs and schedules.

Senior management demonstrates commitment to the project and approves the necessary resources to complete the project. This commitment from senior management helps ensure involvement by those who are needed to complete the project.

Quality assurance staff review results and deliverables within each phase, and at the end of each phase confirm compliance with requirements. The timing of reviews depends on the system development life cycle, the impact of potential deviation methodology used, the structure and magnitude of the system and the impact of potential deviation.
