Writing and maintaining software lifecycle (SLC) documentation can consume most of an automation project’s schedule and budget - and still result in inconsistent and error-riddled documents.
Traditionally, documents were first created in a word processing environment, then iteratively reconciled with the actual implementation during development and deployment, and finally maintained using time-intensive write/review/edit/approve/revise cycles. Since the documentation was maintained in a system apart from the automation system, there has been significant effort associated with document generation and maintenance.
AgileDoc® streamlines documentation life cycle management by eliminating the cumbersome word processor approach. All information that would normally appear in these documents is maintained in the native control system environment. SLC documentation is now generated directly from control system source code, thus greatly reducing the effort associated with cGMP documentation while increasing accuracy.
AgileDoc® Benefits:
Early detection of coding errors.
Reduced number of deviations that arise during software validation.
Automation of time-consuming, manually intensive software documentation tasks.
AgileDoc substantially reduces automation system deployment cost and compresses project timelines.
