This paper reimagines how documents are to be used in the biopharma industry. Instead of a reactive approach to audit findings and deviations with frequent document updates that can result in many long documents and overdue training, this paper describes how documents should be written and designed based on how they are to be used, and that different documents serve different purposes when training and working.
