Timeline and Resources

Indicate planned end-dates and appropriate intervening milestones. Identify resources to be assigned to various activities. Note any critical dependencies that may impact progress.

The reason I include this seemingly irrelevant chapter in this book is because it is important. What are the factors that make a software project succeed One could say the project has to provide good business values. In addition, the project team has to be technically competent. Although these factors are all necessary for the project to succeed, they are not sufficient. Especially for a software project that has some level of complexity, tight timelines, and resource constraints, a good development process is also critical. Unless your development process is ad hoc, most likely you will use either the waterfall or the iterative development process. Many researchers show that the latter is a much better choice than the former, and many thoughtful leaders advocate its use in most software development projects.

Depending on circumstances, senior team members may participate if decisions on work scope, timelines, and resources have to be made or other method-related issues arise.

Method qualification is based on ICH method validation guidelines. Method type (purity or identity) will dictate the level of qualification testing necessary. Several strategies for method qualification and validation exist and are based on needs, resources available, and the project timeframe. One approach is to perform minimal development and qualification, which may be necessary for projects with shorter timelines, but it may place more burden and risk on future validation activities for robustness testing, and can result in failure. As discussed in Chapter 4, an alternate approach would invest more time and resources into method development, followed by extensive qualification and robusmess testing to determine if further development is... 

By developing a series of generic host production organisms, fermentation development time can be minimized when these host systems are used for production of multiple products. The investment of time and resources in developing the initial fermentation and recovery system can be recovered in subsequent programs in the form of more rapid commercial development timelines. 

Project Timeline and Milestones List the projected completion date of major tasks in the validation. This information is useful in monitoring the progress of the project and making sure proper resources are available at various stages of the validation. 

The two main CW-related issues raised in the General Debate were the importance of adhering to the CWC destruction timelines and the level of inspection resources currently being used for verification of CW destruction. 

The Review Document reaffirmed the obligation of the CW-possessors to destroy their CW stockpiles within the CWC-specified timelines, and urged them to exploit scientific and technological developments to enable more effective use of verification resources. It also called on other States Parties to support these efforts and provide assistance where possible. In addition, the RevCon reiterated the obligation of States Parties possessing converted former CW production facilities to report annually for 10 years on the activities at those sites and to open them to inspection. 

The link between quality planning and quality improvement is execution. The continuous improvement cycle (Fig. 5) starts with benchmarking and internal assessment to arrive at a gap analysis. From the gap analysis an action plan with assigned leadership, resources, timelines, and metrics is developed. From this quality plan, the plant s human resources must successfully execute the plan for improvement to occur. It is the leadership s responsibility to assure that the plan is do-able, appropriate and adequate resources are assigned, and that the culture of the plant supports change. This starts with the project leaders who must have not only the technical skills, but also the project...

Protocols and contracts may be subject to revision when project scope and directions change. Both should be adjusted as needed, perhaps less formally for protocol or plan changes, which can be done via amendments, e-mail directives, memoranda, and other means of documentation. In most cases, contracts, as legal instruments, require amendments defining changes of scope and the anticipated impact on timelines, cost, and resources with approval by both parties. 

While we could not have said this a decade or two ago, there is now a plethora of resources for injecting the history of chemistry into chemistry. There are, for example, easily accessible chemical education videotapes innovative curriculum modules museum exhibits vivifying chemistry s past web sites devoted to a single famous chemist day-by-day history of chemistry calendars interactive, cross-referenced timelines and illustrated history of chemistry essays in textbooks. 

Step 1. Define project. In this step, the market opportunities are identified, a design team is assigned, and resources are allocated. Typically, the project timeline is summarized in a Gantt chart (see Section 12.4). 

In order that the PSR is completed within the agreed schedule, a detailed action plan should be prepared that identifies all the activities to be performed for the PSR, the timelines and the responsibilities. On the basis of this plan, an overall budget for the PSR should then be prepared. Because the development of a PSA is a resource intensive activity, its scope and depth and their imphcations for the overall time-scale for the PSR should be considered in the planning stage.

In this chapter, we concisely frame the pure components of the DMTA cycle, but focus primarily on an incomplete listing of the questions that should be addressed in each of the components. At the end of each section, we comment directly on a few of the general issues. But we purposefully leave the balance of the questions open and to be considered in your own projects, since the answers will vary depending on the context of your target, your timeline, your resources, and, ultimately, your skills and instincts - precisely the factors that result in variation of lead generation outcomes from different teams. Through these sets of... 

The plan will eventually prescribe a likely filing date for a marketing authorisation application (MAA) (product hcence). This date is vital and when the plan becomes public information, any slippage in the date is likely to impact on the share price of the company. Accordingly, senior members of the company must be confident that the date can be met. There will always be pressure to bring the date forward but this has a cost in resources, and risks damaging credibility with investors if the accelerated timelines cannot be met.
