Policy Product Lifecycle Policy

Veeva is a company devoted to providing multi-tenant, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions to clients in the life sciences sector. The listed documents describe the Software Development LifeCycle (SDLC) adopted by Veeva to design, develop, test, and maintain its software products.

Veeva has adopted an Agile development methodology with multiple development cycles (Sprints) annually. New product releases (including bug fixes and enhancements) are targeted for general availability three to four times a year. This approach provides for a planned and predictable release of innovative application functions and features.

Veeva releases three (3) General Releases per year with major updates to product functionality, enhancements, and bug fixes.

The Product Lifecycle comprises two main phases:

  1. Software Development
  2. Software Testing / Software Quality Assurance
  3. Release Management

Each General Release is also subject to validation activities. For more information relating to CSV, please refer to Computer System Validation.
