As a Project Coordinator who takes the meeting minutes from each meeting, I agree with Dr. Simon’s push on the importance of taking meeting minutes. Meeting minutes captures the discussions of the meetings with the program team – allowing those who are absent to catch up on what they missed and to record any decisions that are made in the meeting. Meeting minutes also captures the history of the product development – through initiation, identification of requirements, verification and validation processes, launch and post launch activities. These can be very useful to review for project team members who are new to the company or the project. Typically, I classify the meeting minutes as non-DHF documents. But if there is a decision made that influences the design, verification, or validation of the product, then those meeting minutes are classified as a part of the Design History File (DHF). If classified as a part of the DHF, meeting minutes can be used as supporting materials during an audit or can be reference materials if there is ever to be a field corrective action.
