Starting to get Involved
Does anyone have suggestions on how best to structure a Product Lifecycle (PLC) policy vs SOP vs SWI? My organization provides medical and non-medical products and services in support of clinical trials. We currently have a PLC SOP which is very dense and at times overly descriptive/prescriptive. There are blurred lines between what is required for a 100% new product introduction vs. product updates.
We are trying to trim down the current procedure, but not sure how to structure it. One option is to structure around the process from investigation to retirement. Another option is to structure around requirements and how requirements are refined from high-level down to detailed level and how the Product Manager (PDM) is involved in this process. My instinct says that we need to account for both, the process end-to-end view, requirements and role of PDM vs teams.
I am curious if anyone has examples of well-defined and well-received Product Lifecycle policies or SOPs? Or if you have suggestions of other forums or resources where I can seek this information.
Thanks in advance for input.
