Daily project meetings

Daily project meeting At this time, each team member updates progress and expresses problems to which the project team needs to react quickly. The problems can be requirement ambiguities, technical difficulties, delays in task completions, and so on.

Elsa Reichmanis, Lucent Technologies I have had some direct experience with long-distance collaborations. In one collaboration we had a joint R D program with a company located in Switzerland, and in another we collaborated with a company located on the East Coast, only a few hours away from our location.

Because we had the chance to get to know each other, it was much easier to pick up the phone and talk to the relevant researchers in either organization to get information and understand what was going on.

Depending on the scope of a paperless project, it is important to consider both the system strategy and the system architecture. Often, there is only a limited choice of relevant systems that meet a pharmaceutical company s IT strategies and preferred platform. Furthermore, there will often be some existing systems in place that do not support the scope of replacing paper used in daily operations. Paperless operations have in the past been used as a sales promotion feature for specific products that purport to enable paperless operation.
