What it is planned to cover

  • Sequencing and dependencies across SDTM, ADaM and TLF layers, and where a change ripples
  • Specification governance: who approves, when it freezes, and how change is requested
  • Standards and controlled-terminology versions as a managed dependency
  • Metadata and traceability expectations from source to output
  • Delivery cadence and review cycles that match the study timeline
  • Handling late changes without reopening everything: scoping the regression
