The Deployment Strategy is about establishing the quality system, therefore it is important in the planning and approach phase. It sets out the key actions, when they should be done, who has responsibility and documents that assist the action. It is a mapping exercise to ensure that all the AQTF quality criteria have been addressed. The quality system has been designed to ensure that all information in the Deployment Strategy is included in the suite of procedures and forms. Once the quality system is operational the Deployment Strategy is useful as a reference point for Quality meetings and Review.
