2. How do you handle time extensions?
3. What quality measures do you have in place, this includes but is not limited to progress reports and how do you determine whether the quality of the deliverables meets what is set out in the proposals?
4. How do you determine whether projects are meeting project milestones?
5. Do you implement corrective action plans to enforce quality and timeliness, and what corrective actions plans do you use?
6. Do you have quality guidelines or a checklist for final reports?
