Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) are a set of scheduled inspections which have to be completed at critical points throughout a job. Using an ITP, work is constantly checked in accordance with key checklists and internationally recognised regulations, allowing for significantly improved quality control. Further, because ITPs give you a detailed record of all your work and inspections, it also offers you a legal safeguard in the case of potential claims against you.

Project management software can be expensive, but programs like Trello, Producteev and Wrike are great free alternatives. They provide an online platform for project managers to view the stages of their projects, communicate with teams through instant messaging and receive notifications of status updates.
