I believe most projects have more than one priority to focus on. Priorities can change as you progress through each stage of design control and project management. These priorities can include planning the specification, performing successful clinical trials, and choosing the best vendor. The focus should be on the critical path, responsible for determining the finish date. The tasks involved in that path need to be carefully executed in a timely manner to minimize delays. While it is ideal to produce a good quality product cheaply and quickly, it is difficult to accomplish. Depending on the project and stakeholders’ demands, you might need to prioritize the quality of the product and the low costs over a sooner finish date. If the selected finish date can’t be adjusted, the company may need to increase their budget and funding or jeopardize quality.
