Financial performance during major economic disruptions and reduced staffing have certainly added pressure on doing more with less. That has definitely made it difficult to find a way to ensure the quality of deliverables despite the challenges in the business environment.

That has led to challenging product assurance requirements to ensure we can focus on right-sizing quality processes. While business pressures are not a valid reason to forgo quality, it has certainly meant rethinking the applicable processes to ensure they are focused on the right things, and we are not doing extra work just because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

None, maybe getting better since formal QC/QA is promoted by virtual teaming.

The constraints brought on by the pandemic may impact on the way one achieves quality objectives but should not change the quality objectives.

Quality of projects/deliverables can't be reduced due to pandemic. Resources(people) may be affected due to uncertainty in health issues in team, but it should be backed up with trained resources to pickup.

Thats correct can not reduce the quality objective but when have limited resource it is difficult to keep backup for everyone. There will be a replanning in such cases.

None, I believe. There should not be an impact on the quality of the deliverables.

Being in software industry, personal experience for the past few months had been that the impact is positive in the sense more importance has been given to quality and teams are trying to get early feedback. They are fine to fail fast and correct it. The deliverables has been short to see how quickly one can test and deliver. The collaboration has increased to ensure that things are delivered with utmost quality. Desk checks and code reviews have become stringent.
This is mainly for the reason that there is uncertainty around and getting things first time right is the mantra for success now. This is not new but imperative in the prevailing situations.

No impacts in my case. Perhaps because I am working with virtual highly distributed teams from more than 20 years ago. Obviously, it could depends on the definition of quality. In my actual work place we are using the highest standards of quality.
