4 Introduction The Institute of Clinical Research (ICR), formerly known as ACRPI, was established in It is now recognised as the professional body for clinical research scientists in the UK. Two of the principle objectives upon which the organisation was founded are: to enhance the standards of clinical research carried out on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry and academic institutions, and to advance the professional competence of members. In collaboration with other professional bodies, the Institute has developed a range of Operational Standards for Professional Practice, to help meet these objectives. To complement the documents, ICR also runs a continuing professional development (CPD) scheme1. About this standard: what is the importance of project management? Drug development today requires effective project management skills on a global scale. Clinical projects generally require input from many different departments across the organisation thus requiring coordination across normal line management structures. In a number of organisations it is becoming increasingly common for projects to be contracted out in part, or in their entirety, to Contract Research Organisations (CROs). The project managers within these organisations must be able to work with different scenarios and to adapt to the requirements of different sponsors. This standard provides a reference for those working or hoping to work within project management in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, device or service environments. It assumes that a clinical development plan is in place and that there is an understanding of the basic project management tools and techniques. It is intended as an outline of the processes involved in successfully managing both single and multicentre clinical projects and to help guide the reader to the many well-accepted, detailed reference texts that are available. Who has put this standard together? ICR provides a forum for clinical research professionals with project management and study site management responsibilities to network and share best practice. A group of experts in the area formed a working party of clinical research professionals from both the pharmaceutical industry and service sector to develop this standard. It is based on extensive consultation with individuals and organisations representing the interests of clinical research professionals (in all, over 5,000 professionals). Further details of those involved in contributing, reviewing and in the consultation/approval process can be obtained from ICR. How should this operational standard be used? Each Operational Standard for Professional Practice consists of an introductory section, followed by a section with Performance Indicators, broken down by topic. The rest of the standard takes each topic and gives a, followed by a list of Recommended Activities. There is a final section Project Management: August 2005 Page 4
5 containing definitions, abbreviations and a bibliography. The performance indicators identified for each clinical research activity set the criteria for clinical researchers to be measured against. Individuals need appropriate skills and knowledge in order to achieve performance indicators. Expert working groups have identified areas of best practice which may be over and above regulatory requirements, but if followed, are believed to add value to the clinical study process and ultimately the standard of clinical research. Individual organisations have their own standard operating procedures (SOPs), but there is little formal cross fertilisation between companies. This standard outlines the recommended activities required to achieve the performance indicators and best practice. These are recommended activities, but for more specific instructions SOPs should be developed and utilised. Training providers can use this Operational Standard for Professional Practice as the standard against which they can gain accreditation of their course from the institute. Further information can be found on the website You may find it helpful to read this Operational Standard for Professional Practice in conjunction with the other ICR standards in this series.

Start-up Phase 2.1 Communicate the project plan to the project team 2.2 Obtain agreement from the project team for all assigned roles and responsibilities, key milestones, timelines and budget 2.3 Design and hold an effective and motivational start-up meeting that provides information and training on what is needed to achieve a successful outcome for the project 3. Study Management Phase 3.1 Project Management Proactively assess project progress against the project plan Implement the project contingency plan when the project is out of scope Communicate and obtain agreement from key stakeholders for any changes in the project plan that may affect the project s critical path 3.2 Status reports Provide accurate status reports providing a clear view of project progress and showing any major variance against plan 3.3 Team management Implement the project communication plan 4. Completion Obtain regular feedback on individual and team performance, morale and turnover Ensure that all team members have the right training to perform the project tasks 4.1 Ensure that the project sponsor receives all deliverables for the project as agreed in the project plan 4.2 Evaluate the performance of the project team against the project plan Project Management: August 2005 Page 8
9 s and Recommended Activities Planning and Set-up These best practice guidelines refer to the stages of project planning including definition of objectives, team identification and definition of the team s responsibilities, and budgeting. It assumes that there is a documented clinical development plan with clearly stated objectives, task assumptions and defined deliverables. Project Plan Work with the project sponsor to ensure that the project is feasible Consult with key project stakeholders to ensure clarity of objectives Build the project plan from the lowest activity up and ensure that it is based on realistic assumptions Define responsibilities and timelines within the project plan Ensure agreement from other relevant departments for the project plan Identify essential items to be incorporated into tracking systems that will assist reporting of project progress and decision making Recommended Activities a. Conduct a feasibility assessment to establish if the project is realistic and achievable b. Identify the activities to be incorporated in the project plan. Milestones may include: protocol writing commenced; protocol fully approved; regulatory and ethics approvals; first patient in; last patient out; database lock; report signed off; all sites and files closed c. Using suitable project management tools (such as project management software packages, spreadsheets, Gantt charts, paper) create a project plan to include key milestones, timelines, budget, resource allocation and links between tasks d. Identify and document project assumptions and quality standards to be achieved e. Establish a change request process to ensure that all project scope changes are agreed and documented f. Obtain and document agreement of the project plan from all project stakeholders g. Write a communication plan to ensure the flow of relevant information to all team members occurs in the most effective manner. The communication plan should include the nature of the communication, to whom it is directed, format, type and method of communication, as well as the frequency Project Management: August 2005 Page 9
10 Budget Build the project budget from the lowest activity up and ensure that it is based on realistic assumptions with reference to historical costs Recommended Activities a. Identify activities that have implications for either fixed or variable costs and incorporate them into the project budget. The budget should include: pass-through costs for travel, meetings, laboratory fees, service company fees, etc. b. Agree the budget with relevant stakeholders, e.g., department heads c. Develop a process for tracking and monitoring the budget Resource Allocation Consult with line managers to ensure efficient allocation and ongoing management of resource Recommended Activities a. Identify resource requirements for the project b. Agree the availability of the resource throughout the project with the relevant stakeholders, e.g., department heads c. If internal resource is not available as required, external resource should be obtained, e.g., from a CRO d. Assess the training needs of the project team and arrange for appropriate training to be provided, if necessary e. Establish a process to ensure the project is sufficiently resourced and that the allocation will be monitored and adjusted accordingly throughout the project Risk Assessment Ensure that a full risk assessment for the project is carried out and that suitable contingencies are built into the plan. Incorporate contingencies to cover pessimistic, realistic and stretch plans Recommended Activities a. Identify the areas of the project plan which, if not achieved as stated, could lead to a delay in the project deliverables, e.g., slow recruitment, staff turnover, protocol amendments b. Establish the likelihood of the risk occurring for the project and develop a plan for managing the risk should it occur c. Develop a tracking system to document and manage the risk for the project. The risk log should contain such things as: the description of the task/issue, date it was raised, likelihood it will occur, severity if it occurred, contingency and responsibility Project Management: August 2005 Page 10
11 Start-up This best practice guideline covers the requirements during the actual project start-up process. Ensure that all key stakeholders and team members attend a start-up meeting so that consistent information is communicated about the project. If necessary, conduct a series of meetings Take the opportunity to use the start-up meeting to include initial training for the project, if required, and provide supporting documentation to all attendees Encourage a positive and open team culture by recognition of team roles and contributions Recommended Activities a. Schedule the start-up meting to allow all team members to attend b. Design an agenda that is relevant to all attendees. The agenda should include: the project plan expectations for the project with respect to scope, timings, budget and quality standards roles and responsibilities change request process detail the procedural requirements for the project (i.e., standard and project-specific SOPs, monitoring guidelines, investigational medicinal product [IMP] management plan, as appropriate) training on any project-specific requirements c. Document the findings of the meeting and provide minutes to all attendees d. Ensure that anyone who was unable to attend the project start-up meeting is fully briefed on the project requirements and that this is documented Study Management These best practice guidelines cover the longest period of the project from its initiation to completion. Project Management Select and utilise project management tools based on the principle that information-based decisions need to be made quickly during the study Recommended Activities a. Update project management tracking documentation on a regular basis b. Utilise the information on the project management tracking documentation to determine if variance from the project plan is evident c. Implement appropriate contingency plans if variance from the project plan is occurring or is likely to occur d. Communicate any variance from the project plan to key stakeholders e. Review the individual risks in the risk log; reassess the risk probability and refine contingency plans as necessary. Add in new risks as they become apparent and remove any risks that have been mitigated Project Management: August 2005 Page 11
12 Status Reports Review the project as each milestone is reached and produce a report for that stage for all relevant parties Recommended activities a. Provide status reports during the various stages of the project to stakeholders and project team members at the agreed frequency b. Ensure that all relevant people are given the information they need in a timely manner Team Management The Project Manager should ensure that all individuals have a clear understanding of their own responsibilities or accountabilities. The training needs of the team should be reviewed on an ongoing basis with line managers Review how long team members are spending on project activities; understand the impact of other projects on the allocation of resources; manage staff turnover Communicate openly and honestly with both good and bad information.
