Here are potential responses to the questions:
1. We were previously managing our documents using paper files and spreadsheets. There was no centralized system to track document versions, approvals, and access.
2. The biggest challenge moving to a new electronic system was changing behaviors and mindsets from the paper-based processes employees were accustomed to. It took time for people to adapt to having all documents and processes in one electronic system.
3. We are managing all of our quality system documents like SOPs, policies, and design history file documents in the new system. This includes documents related to product development, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
4. In addition to increased agility, other key benefits included improved compliance
Implementing a Test Dashboard to Boost QualityTechWell
You are responsible for addressing quality problems that are plaguing your product and having an adverse impact on the business. Have you been challenged to provide a simple mechanism for quantifying and tracking key performance indicators selected by your organization. The ultimate goal is an approach that will enable the cross-functional team to identify problem areas so they can take corrective action. Where do you start? Attend this session to learn how you can develop a quantifiable approach to assessing testing effectiveness and addressing quality. Scott Acker shows you a solution he developed, deployed, and managed to effectively leverage various types of data to support analyzing, tracking, and reporting changes in testing and quality over time. Discover how to drive communication and collaboration improvements across the entire cross-functional team and boost quality efforts.
Cloud Technology and Its Implication for Quality ServicesSparta Systems
Cloud computing occurs when a program is run on many computers at the same time, referring to a server connected through the internet. This presentation from Sparta Systems describes how cloud technology can be an integral part of the Enterprise Quality Management Systems (EQMS).
This slidedeck talks about the emerging trends, best practices and tools for Agile Test Management. As lines between development and operations blur, sprints get shorter, the difficulty mounts in meeting the higher expectations both for speed and quality of software deliverables. How to configure your test management solution to get your delivery up to speed and improve your release quality build by build.

Software is an important tool for improving the speed, reliability, and quality of existing processes in every corner of a modern enterprise. Now revolutionary software development practices adopted by online leaders like Amazon, Facebook, and Google have achieved new levels of speed and flexibility. New software is broken into smaller pieces: big 'waterfall' releases are replaced by smaller 'agile sprints', and then into a continuous flow of smaller components - each optimized with specific points of measurement and feedback.

Big Apple Scrum Day 2015 - Advanced Scrum Metrics Reference SheetJason Tice
Reference sheet for presentation given at Big Apple Scrum Day 2015 on advanced metrics for agile and scrum teams. It is recommended that teams track a few metrics for each of the 5 categories outlined in the presentation to be able to assess the impact of activities supportive of continuous improvement. This reference sheet includes over 30 metrics to give teams ideas on what they can measure. There isn’t a requirement to track 30 metrics on a scrum or agile team but rather teams should track just enough metrics to be able to understand their performance.

Maximizing Use of Your Supplier Scorecard - OMTEC 2018April Bright
Supplier scorecards provide a comparative look at suppliers and a heightened understanding of internal challenges within your organizations. Orthopaedic device companies rely on scorecards to monitor the performance of suppliers that are an extension of their own operations. The right elements in the scorecard (e.g. weighted factors of quality, delivery, cost, responsiveness, SCAR, CAPA, etc.) will strengthen your confidence, control and relationship with your suppliers while simultaneously providing essential indicators to drive positive change.

28. • Migration and new system
• 1. What were you using before?
• Answer: We were on paper and tracking documents manually
• 2. What was the biggest challenge moving to the new system?
• 3. What documents are you managing in the new system?
• 4. Were there any other benefits than agility?
• Answer: We can mitigate risks ‐ we have visibility into the process e.g. who has not
completed their R&U tasks, reduced our compliance risks with detailed audit trails
and electronic signatures that are 21 CFR Part 11 compliant
• Evaluation
• 5. How long did it take to evaluate all the vendors and can you provide some more
info on the evaluation process? Was there an RFI (request for information) you
used, demos, or POC?
