AGENDA Scope of work New requirements for Medical devices Quality Agile Development Usability The case
SCOPE OF WORK Quality Documentation and standards Project Management To speed up the final stages Usability Usability engineering process
NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL DEVICES Medical Device Directive, 93/42/EEC /47/EC Usability Engineering Process Software Risk Management
Standards and directives QUALITY
CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT Meets MDD Demonstrated by using applicable standards CE-marking Notified body
CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT - PATH
APPLICABLE STANDARDS IEC Medical Electrical Equipment ISO Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices IEC Application of usability engineering to medical devices IEC Medical device software. Software life-cycle processes
QUALITY SYSTEMS ISO Quality Management System ISO Medical Devices, Quality Management System
STANDARDS
SCRUM AGILE DEVELOPMENT
SCRUM THEORY Transparency Who affect the results, must know If something is believed to be done, it must be done Inspection Frequent inspections to detect variances Adaptation Quick adaptation to changes
ROLES IN SCRUM - PRODUCT OWNER Scope What is to be done – Product Backlog Time At what time – Releases Money Resources Maximize the value The ultimate decisions on product matters
ROLES IN SCRUM – SCRUMMASTER Makes work possible Couches Herds the flock Buffer Leads, not manages Enforces Scrum rules Servant-Leader to the team
