About Auditor

An auditor is external to the project and offers an independent objective view of a project and its processes. An auditor effectively advocates for the product management constituency in the MSF Team Model by auditing the quality assurance in the project's product and its processes. The auditor is responsible for assessing the quality in the product as measured by quality control and the quality assurance measured as conformance against process definition. An auditor reports variance from specification, variance from plan, and variance from process definition. An auditor's reports can be used to assess the likely quality of the product and whether or not the organization exhibits control in its operations.
