The book was great - it gave us lots of helpful insights. We have just finished implementing our quality assurance and everything is working better than ever now.
Thanks.

This is a great resource for working with clients and assuring expectations are established and met! Even if you only use one of the checklists, it will pay for itself tenfold! What a time-saver!

Good reference, I have implemented a few of the list as milestones in our project manager. Verbose but again it needed to be.
