GAMP 5 VALIDATION 'V' MODEL
RISK BASED VALIDATION APPROACH
- GAMP category 1 - Infrastructure
- GAMP category 3 - non-configurable software
- GAMP category 4 - configurable software
- GAMP category 5 - custom or bespoke software
The risk category will determine the validation strategy and therefore the amount of necessary documentation to show that the system is suitable for your intended use. The most severe risk level of category 5 requires a full lifecycle level of documentation. The lower risk levels require less rigor. It is important to assess your category level correctly to determine the amount of effort to validate, and therefore the cost of that validation. You need to ensure that you are mitigating the risk without over spending to do it. Our experts have the knowledge and experience to identify the correct category and be able to defend it with the Validation Risk Analysis and the Validation Strategy documents.
WATERFALL VS. AGILE
There is a school of thought that thinks agile and regulated software development cannot coexist. Our experts have been involved with developing and executing a modified agile approach that is also compliant with the 21 CFR Part 11 Computer Software Validation regulations. Our approach is a unique blend of agile methodology with the rigor of 21 CFR Part 11 CSV to reach a happy medium where you can enjoy the speed and flexibility of agile, but not sacrifice any of the thoroughness of 21 CFR Part 11.
