At a recent ShinyGatherings, some {riskassessment} contributors presented a workshop that focused on tailoring the application to org-specific risk requirements to simplify R package validation. Though we discussed the end-user experience, this workshop was really geared towards equipping “app deployers” to get the highest and best use out of the application for their organization’s specific needs. We appreciate Appsilon for the opportunity to speak about the application!
About the Workshop
The workshop’s main topics:
A brief recap on what the
{riskassessment}app does. Spoiler alert: it’s goal is to simplify the risk assessment process with a structured and user-friendly approach that avoids the need to author custom R code.Why (and when) organizations should use the app with an emphasis on how it can alleviate the burden of making informed decisions about packages
How the app guides end-users to follow org-specific workflows, whether that be logging, reviewing package metrics, verifying the risk of dependencies, and justifying GxP package inclusion requests using comprehensive downloadable reports.
How “app deployers” can set custom org-specific rules to automate package risk assessment using the desired risk metric criteria.
A thorough look at the app’s role-based access control and how it plays well with Posit Connect authenticated users.
Common challenges & caveats we recognize related to the app
