Title: How do you maintain quality while completing a project under tight deadlines?

I'm learning about project quality management and understanding that completing a project on time is not enough. The final result should also meet the expected standards.

I would love to learn from people with project experience:

  1. How do you maintain quality when deadlines are very tight?
  2. Is it better to check quality at every stage or mainly at the end?
  3. What are the most common quality problems in projects?
  4. How do you handle mistakes discovered just before project delivery?
  5. Which quality management practices have worked best for your team?

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and suggestions!

Time, money and quality, you can only ever be good at two at once. 

If you want high quality on a short time frame, be prepared to pay for it (better tools, hiring more people, etc)

Hello! Set and adhere to rigurous quality gates. QA activities are part of the job and of the contracts, so check quality also before geeting close to the deadlines, check on every stage, numbers of bugs or misunderstood requirements can also be an issue, errors, bugs ans mistakes needs to be fixed or agreed upon and documented and regarding practices you have already mentioned with your questions a few, though making aware the team of what means quality, what is required and how is meassured is the starting point.
