4. Do all raw materials and packaging materials that are supplied meet the defined acceptance criteria which are relevant to the quality of the finished product?
   
   

5. Does the register include the equipment type, unique identification, location, and the calibration or verification method, frequency, and acceptance criteria?
   
   

6. What does the best practice create a new user story and retire the old, or modify the existing story and represent the new requirement with a modification?
   
   

7. When making a purchase from a contract with multiple contractors, does your organization simply order from any of the contractors issued an award?
   
   

8. Does the quality control organization use all test methods which are necessary to confirm that the product complies with the acceptance criteria?
   
   

9. Have acceptance criteria for raw materials, packaging materials, bulk products and finished products been defined to meet the requirements?
   
   

10. Does the pmp define the process for developing, managing and tracking phase entrance and exit criteria, system acceptance criteria, etc?
