Project Management for EU MDR Deliverables

EU MDR requires a suite of post-market documents for each device in your portfolio: CEP/CER, PMCF-Plan/PMCF-Report, PMS-Plan/PSUR or PMS-Report, SSCP. All documents need to be updated at a set frequency and due dates between deliverables may be linked. Managing schedules of work across large portfolios can be challenging if you do not have the right tools and processes.

Strong project management can help you optimize your work, accurately estimate your resourcing needs, and reduce team stress and turnover.

Schedule Creation, Optimization, and Maintenance

Create or QC your deliverables schedule(s):

Create a new schedule: for each product in your portfolio, we will determine when each deliverable is due, for which reason, and on which update frequency.
QC an existing schedule: we will cross check alignment of due dates across trackers, ensure no products or deliverables are missing, and ensure update frequencies are correct.

Schedule Optimization:

Identify opportunities for consolidation
Propose solutions for level-loading

Schedule Maintenance:

Create a process for the ongoing maintenance of the schedule and trackers.

Project Timelines

Create realistic project plans for various types of projects by with a list of tasks with standard durations and dependencies.
Identify bottlenecks and labor-intensive steps and propose process improvement solutions and efficiency tools.
Create tools for writers to monitor and report progress with ongoing projects.

Resourcing Projections

With a complete schedule and standard project durations, short- and long-term resourcing needs should be assessed.

Short term, 0-12 months: if short term resourcing gaps are identified, reprioritization of projects or vendor support may be needed.

Medium term, 12-24 months: Accurately estimating medium-term staffing needs will give you time to ramp up your team and be ready for the workload.

Long term, 24+ months: Estimating resourcing needs multiple years in advance will help you advocate for adequate long-term budgeting for your team.
