7 to consider changing those agency policies that force the use of the baseline QMS, the more fundamental change would be encouraging a cultural shift so that project managers expect the process of selecting a QMS to involve choosing among several options. Project managers should approach any project (even those using DBB, which is typically associated with the baseline QMS)
