This course covers how to audit processes, work products, and the people who perform within the process. General audit practices will be discussed. The audit will now depend on what standard will be used as a requirement of the audit. Therefore, the course is not concentrated on specific standards like ISO or CMMI, etc. The auditing techniques that will be learned from this course are standard audit practices.
