ISPE Technical Document Draft KEY
Proposal: First stage of the Document Development Process which provides the Guidance
Documents Committee (GDC) with sufficient information to determine if the proposed topic justifies an
industry need to create a guidance document.
Document Plan: Second stage of the Document Development Process which contains a proposed
Purpose and Objectives, Scope and Key Concepts, Structure (may include Outline), Team Organization with Core
Team identified, Stakeholders, and Project Planning.
Outline: Made available online for the benefit of ISPE members to view the direction that
a Task Team is taking in regard to a topic area. This also allows Members to indicate their willingness to
participate in the development of a Guidance Document (where appropriate).
Executive Summary: Drafts of the introductory chapter(s), the regulatory chapter(s),
descriptive outlines of other chapters, and titles of proposed appendices; developed to facilitate discussion
of regulatory issues between task teams and regulatory agencies, as well as, to further illustrate the
direction of the guidance document to Members.
Draft 1: First draft which includes main body of the document and drafts of all chapters
and appendices (circa 80% to 90% complete). This draft is issued for industry review giving Members the
opportunity to provide comment.
Draft 2: Final draft which includes all industry comments incorporated, as appropriate,
and final technical edits completed. Proceeds to GDEC for review/approval, then fed into the ISPE Publication
Process. If a Baseline® Guide, this draft is issued to the FDA for technical review prior to ISPE Publication
Process.
