The Master Class is directed at employees from
- IT
- Production
- Engineering
- Quality Assurance
- Quality Control
Participants should already have gained experience in the validation of computerised systems, and preferably will have also attended a basic CSV Course.
As a specialist for the validation of computerised systems, the event will provide you with
- Suggestions on how current regulatory guidance on computerised systems relating to data integrity, critical thinking and CSA (Computer Software Assurance) can be put into practice
- Real-life examples of how validation effort can be scaled according to risk-based approaches
- Answers to specific questions, e.g. on source code review or on creating specification documents
- The opportunity to bring questions from your own practice up for discussion
Background
The V-model has become a standard worldwide methodology for the validation of computerised systems. Regulatory requirements, as well as industry guidelines, like GAMP®5 2nd Edition, are orientated towards this model. In practice, you as a validation specialist will want to know how to apply this model to current and increasingly complex validation projects.
