A Shared Product Lifecycle Aligns Five Pharma Teams from Planning to Launch
Coordinate product portfolio and launch work across every team that brings a product to market.
Para built a product portfolio and launch governance platform for a pharmaceutical company. It brought five functions, from R&D to Finance, onto one shared product lifecycle. Each team saw only the data its role allowed. Milestones and approvals ran on set workflows, and the platform raised an alert whenever work fell behind.
Business challenge
- Product planning involved many central and local teams, each with different duties.
- Product milestones and approvals needed one governed lifecycle.
- Product information needed fine-grained access and a clear split between local and central governance.
Para approach
- We defined the information model for pharmaceutical products and their lifecycle.
- We mapped central and local roles across the five functions.
- We built governed milestones and approval stages.
- We set up alerts, escalations, and access by role.
- We delivered analytics on product and launch performance.
How it works
Validated product-portfolio and launch-governance implementation. Evidence: SRS, five-year business plan, technical and deployment documents, role-specific UAT and user and admin manuals.

Reusable pharma governance pattern
Para now has a reusable model for product-centered processes in regulated firms.
Technology & delivery context
Older SharePoint solution with governed product information and role-based permissions. The legacy implementation is delivery evidence, not a current product.
