Project Management Best Practices for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA

Description

We will discuss the importance of applying industry best practices when managing projects involving development, configuration, implementation, testing, validation and other System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases for any IT system used in an FDA-regulated environment (i.e., the system “touches” product during the manufacturing, testing or distribution process). Such a system must be validated in accordance with FDA guidelines for computerized systems and documented accordingly.

This course will describe the best practices for managing such a project, including “who” should be responsible for tasks, “how” the documentation should be accomplished, and “what” specific criteria will be used to define success. FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how this is to be done.

Areas Covered in the Session :
