The “Project Management Handbook” for SustainaBlue project presents a detailed work and time plan, a thorough list of all envisaged deliverables, a breakdown of the partners’ responsibilities, the management structure, the project’s communication framework, as well as a risk assessment analysis.
The document “Quality Assurance & Evaluation Plan” is intended to serve as a roadmap for the quality assurance and evaluation activities that will be carried out throughout the entire duration of the project, ensuring that the project is implemented effectively and efficiently in accordance with the proposed activities and anticipated objectives. When it comes to the project’s impact and internal evaluation, the present Plan will serve as a guide for carrying out all the envisioned activities. The QAEP is a living document that will be updated frequently during the project cycle to reflect the project’s progress and any changes required to successfully complete the project’s goals.
Our first official Interim Meeting was held online, allowing partners to present achievements, address issues, and plan the next steps. Key deliverables from the first six months were showcased and all partners assessed progress and identified areas for improvement to address potential obstacles.
