Dear community, I got a task from my boss to analyse our release frequency which we intended to increase a while ago in order to reduce the time to value for our customers. A while ago, our product versions were updated every 2-3 months and we targeted to develop and release our medical device every 2-4 weeks.
We are a SaMD (stand-alone) and since the last few releases of our new product versions, indeed the release frequency has been increased and the product updates have been smaller. Definitely did we optimise the process of compiling our Technical File acc. to MDR (EU) 2017/745 and have become more efficient.
However, I just can't come up with a metric that makes sense other than "Release Date Version A => Last day of use Version A".
If anyone has a suggestion whether there could be a more sophisticated metric that makes sense or with an overall rationale how to create such a metric, I'd be really grateful.
Thank you!
