Using Jira as a requirements library for clinical trials delivery Passed

Lecturer: Michalis FardisTrack: Data / Information
Clinical trials are becoming digital and the delivery of the trial system does not differ that much from the delivery of an IT system.
Most of the clinical trials have a number of standard requirements that are the same across different trials and there is only a small number of requirements that need to be configured in a study.
AZ has created a library in Jira, where configurable requirements can be reused and configured based on trial needs, while the requirements that remain the same across trials are only referenced in the study URS.
Moreover, using Jira for automated creation of documents such as User requirements specification or Test report, takes a big burden from the teams that needed to create these documents manually.
This approach allows the delivery team to focus only on the requirements that need configuration and additional validation, and together with automated document creation, it minimizes the time and effort for study delivery.
