  2. Are the key procedures written down in one place and in sufficient detail, such that someone can carry them out by consulting only one part of the document? (Facilitate frequent usage.)
  3. Will all procedures actually be carried out as written down? (Do what you have written down.)
  4. Have the SEP-specific requirements been taken into account?
  5. (SPMP) Explain details of weekly metrics (what to measure, how to collect measurements, how to process the results, ...)
  6. (SPMP) The description of the organization must include all persons that play a role in the project, e.g. TUE staff members and external reviewers. It links names to roles.
  7. (esp. SQAP) Is it clear for each task who (role, not name) is responsible for carrying it out?
  8. (SCMP) Change procedures and problem reporting concern approved configuration items only.
