My response:
After getting the management approval the next step would be establishing a project plan – nominate the project manager, the project sponsor, the project team (if needed), define the milestones, deadlines, outputs and budget.
When starting the implementation keep in mind the following:
- Avoid writing too many documents – you should aim at the minimum that is
really needed; do not try to write too detailed documents (e.g., risk assessment), such documents will be improved throughout time during the regular review process.
- Learn which documents and records are mandatory. Here you can find a list of mandatory documents: https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/list-of-mandatory-documents-required-by-iso-90012015/
