Figure 8-3. QRP Outcomes
Each QRP phase will culminate in an associated Quarterly Review Meeting (QRM) with TxDOT Administration. Each QRM will be preceded by many District Review Meetings and a pre-alignment meeting to assist districts with prioritizing projects and facilitating the efficient delivery of the District Portfolio. Figure 8-4 shows where QRP fits within the other process improvement initiatives.
