I believe the biggest way to avoid this situation is not necessarily to treat "meets dimensions" as the same thing as "meets specifications." In the ouch simulation, the CamTech pouch physically fit t...

For me, my biggest motivator is my family. I thrive on having a comfortable family home for her and I that we can be proud of, while also going to travel to other countries and experience what we can ...

From looking at the results listed, they don't surprise me honestly. I think when someone thinks of their ideal or "dream" job, the reason is that it is both excited and challenging for them to do for...

I agree that the budgeting and clinical studies are some of the hardest parts of a project, especially in medical device development where one failed study can have a delay on everything. Additionally...

A major factor that could affect schedule variance in a medical device project is the failure happening during verification, validation OR regulatory review. As an example: if a prototype fails biocom...

Delays or increased costs do not automatically mean that a project was unsuccessful, as others have mentioned. Many projects could encounter challenges or delays like supply chain issues, testing comp...

Identifying the root cause of discrepancy between both internal and contracted verification and validation testing is something I agree with as the most important FIRST step. Additionally, reviewing t...
