Definition
A Validation Plan defines the scope, objectives, responsibilities, methods, Evidence and acceptance logic for Validation of a specific project, process or system.
Human Explanation
It states what will be validated, how the work will be performed and what will count as an acceptable result.
Why it Matters
Planning creates a consistent, reviewable and repeatable basis for execution.
Conceptual Boundary
A Validation Plan applies to a defined undertaking and does not replace the organisation-wide Validation Strategy or VMP.
Practical Perspective
The plan should identify scope, exclusions, roles, dependencies, required Evidence, deviations and acceptance criteria.
