Leveraging Traceability in Your Risk Management Strategy
Identifying, managing, mitigating, analyzing, and tracing risk is recommended for medical device development by ISO 14971 and the FDA. But how do you ensure risk is visible throughout your development cycle? Traceability is one way you can easily expose these risk artifacts as part of your overall risk strategy.
Gaining More than FDA Compliance Through Traceability
The FDA and other international standards encourage life sciences organizations to adopt strong traceability practices to help with compliance. Once you learn how to capture key data and create reusable, traceable requirements, what does your organization gain beyond compliance?
Leveraging Reusability and Traceability in Product Development
The challenge with any life sciences R&D project is how to get FDA approval without wasting time, money, and resources. You need an integrated framework that enforces how key data is captured, helps you create verifiable requirements, and ensures elements in a requirement or test case can be reused. Please join Seapine Software and guest speaker David Vogel, founder and president of Intertech Engineering Associates, to learn best practices for creating verifiable, traceable requirements. David will share insightful tips to ensure you're creating requirements that capture key data for enabling traceability, reporting, and metrics for management. The webinar will also include a demonstration of how TestTrack supports streamlining better processes, data capture, reusability, and traceability in the requirements phase and a Q&A session.
Maximizing Requirements Value Throughout the Product Lifecycle
If application lifecycle management (ALM) is the mastery of the software value stream, then that stream starts with requirements. Requirements are the source of more than just a set of guidelines for what sort of product to build. They also provide a wealth of information critical to making the right decisions throughout the development and delivery process, and information that participants in this process need at every step along the way. In this webinar, we will look at how organizations are investing more in requirements as part of their product development strategy, and how they are leveraging greater value from the actionable and contextual information they provide.

What's New in Seapine ALM 2012
Struggling with making Agile work on your large project team? Join us for this 60-minute webinar as Alan Bustamante, senior Agile consultant, discusses the people, process, and tools?what he calls "project support pillars"?that must be in harmony before you can successfully scale an enterprise Agile team. He'll also share common challenges in solidifying those pillars, and early warning signs that a project team is at risk of serious issues as it scales.
Automating Traceability and Documentation
Many life sciences organizations want to shorten development cycles, but find it impossible because of their existing documentation practices. These organizations are falling behind because documentation is driving their development and testing processes. To truly improve time-to-market and meet compliance requirements, companies must adopt tools that build traceability and other documentation as part of the team's daily work. This automated approach lets the team define, implement, and validate product requirements while the tool ensures good processes, linking, historical information, and documentation. Join us to learn how the right product development toolset will help you implement and validate effective design traceability for development.
Requirements and Agile: Keeping up with Change
Many Agile methodologies minimize the role of traditional requirements in application development, and rely on a combination of user stories and source code to document business and non-functional requirements. While this approach may reduce documentation overhead, it can leave gaps in a team's ability to validate a release prior to deployment. During this webinar, we'll show you how to bridge these gaps and reduce documentation needs while still maintaining a minimal level of more formal requirements for validation and traceability. You'll learn how to effectively use requirements with your existing user stories to maintain team agility, while improving your ability to validate features and more confidently push each release to your users.
Measuring Technical Debt with Load Testing
Every development project has technical debt that accumulates over time. This debt must typically be repaid?with interest?at some point in the development lifecycle. QA testers can contribute considerable value to the organization by using load testing tools to better quantify the effect of technical debt on users. Knowing how technical debt might affect users can help management decide if, or even when, debt should be addressed.
FDA Design Traceability Requirements for Device Development
Join us as John Avellanet, FDA and design compliance expert, provides best practices for incorporating traceability early, inexpensively, and compliantly in medical device development activities, clinical product development, and diagnostic software. You'll learn how you can avoid costly recalls and FDA enforcement by making your traceability practices more productive, without incurring expensive and time-consuming process overhead.
