I cover what the plan must include, like scope and references to applicable requirements, development stages, deliverables, roles and responsibilities, verification and validation strategies, and interfaces including suppliers and external evidence like clinical studies and technical tests. I highlight that the design development plan is a living document that you start early, write your first version even with questions, and update. I also clarify that a Gantt chart alone is not the plan. No specific action was requested, but I offer to share templates if needed.
