Step #RoleInstructions
1.0Project Manager

Project Manager Assemble project team. 

2.0Education RepresentativeThe Education Representative conducts an initial meeting to orient the Project Manager and team on training development procedures and templates. Chapter 1 (overview) will be developed during this stage. The education team will schedule additional meetings with the Project Manager as needed. As the project team identifies and develops key clinical concepts, the Project Manager compiles a list of important concepts, use cases and examples for inclusion in training materials.
3.0Project TeamIf a published clinical outcome assessment is within scope of the project, the team should follow the CDISC QRS process. This process includes  reviews of applicable questionnaires and scales used and initiates the process for collecting the required copyright permissions. 
3.1QRS Representative / Clinical ExpertExpands the initial gap analysis, identifies questionnaires that are needed and initiates the process for acquiring permissions. Reviews the list of instruments with the Clinical Expert and identifies those that need development.
4.0CDISC ITSets up standard space in the wiki
5.0Project ManagerEvaluates new and different research concepts with the assistance of the Clinical Expert to ensure the data are clearly understood. Performs check of concepts with targeted CDISC community. Concept maps illustrating relationships among the data are developed to facilitate this process.
5.1SDTM ExpertWorks with the Project Team to address areas not covered by the current SDTMIG. It is crucial that the SDTM Expert is included in this process and works closely with the SDS team. Any issues that cannot be resolved for the first version of the standard must be placed on the SDS issues list so that resolution can be addressed in a later version.
6.0Project ManagerSubmit concept maps to MRC for Approval
7.0Clinical Expert and other Clinical SMEs

Checks concepts and concept maps. The purpose of the review is to ensure the core concepts under development are adequate and appropriate, and that there are no significant concepts missing. This review limited to the team members, SMEs, FDA and other identified stakeholders.

Metadata Developers Forum and Concept Modelers Forum

  • Teams are expected to take any examples about which they have questions to the appropriate forum.
  • Results of discussions at the forum should be recorded in the forum’s Wiki space. Documentation must include rationales for decisions and labels, including label for the project (e.g., which TA).
  • Terminology decisions are currently documented on Terminology pages within the Wiki TA projects and in Terminology team spreadsheets in the portal
8.0Project ManagerCalls for a CDISC project review with CDISC Project Management and Experts. During the project review, the charter, status of key deliverables, modeling issues, terminology, risks, project plan and next steps may be discussed. The project review occurs at the end of stage 1 to avoid potential delays to the project timeline.
