Design and development - part 3 of 4

The next instalment covers; design and development review and design and development verification.

Design and development review.  At suitable stages, systematic reviews of design and development are performed in accordance with planned arrangements; a) to evaluate the ability of the results of design and development to meet requirements, and b)to identify any problems and propose necessary actions.  Participants in such reviews include representatives of functions concerned with the design and development stage(s) being reviewed.  Records of the results of the reviews and any necessary actions are maintained.

Ooww my head hurts.  So, with the qualspeak dropped it should read…Update your deign plan.  Conduct a review meeting and ensure the right people are there.  Generate minutes or an action plan and follow them up next review.  Simple.  Just remember that some clients have quite specific requirements concerning such reviews and reporting, so make sure you know them and if you want to change those requirements, get their approval.

Design and development verification.  Verification is performed in accordance with planned arrangements to ensure that the design and development outputs have met the design and development input requirements.  Records of the results of the verification and any necessary actions are maintained.

Hmmm.  Smells a bit like the above requirement, only it specifically requires a roadmap type record to demonstrate outputs equals inputs and when they don’t, there is an action plan to fix them.  You can merge these two if you want, just make sure your procedure points in the right direction so that a third party can assess the process.
