First Thing you have to check whether the company is following any particular process. (ie. like cmmi process iso..) If there isn't any QA process followed it will be difficult for the QA people to know how process life cycle is going in the entire software development.

You need to determine:
  1. Documentation of work products applicable to every phases
  2. schedule according to Project Plan & QA plan

As a QA person your responsibility is to ensure that a project's performance meets the baseline.
If the company has set standard process like CMMi then it would be easier to do this.
You need to go through project related documents specifically those related to Project Performance metrics to understand what performance metrics are being used & measured and what are the baseline values set for these metrics. You can go for a sampling approach wherein you can pick up some past projects and compare their performance data with baseline values to understand how they have faired in terms of meeting those values. Based on your sampling data you can infer on QA process effectiveness.
Probably you can find Sampling Plan and other Quality related documents if the company has set Quality process and you can start from there.
