# Implementation

## Docs

- [Implementation](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/overview.md): A section overview of how to plan, build and scale a Digital Product Passport programme, from data readiness to rollout.
- [How Should Organisations Prepare for Digital Product Passports?](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-should-organisations-prepare-for-digital-product-passports.md): A vendor neutral guide to organisational readiness for Digital Product Passports, covering products, data, systems, governance, suppliers, teams and roadmap, before product-specific requirements apply.
- [How to Build a Digital Product Passport Implementation Roadmap](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-build-a-digital-product-passport-implementation-roadmap.md): A vendor neutral, stage gated roadmap for turning Digital Product Passport requirements into an executable programme: nine stages from regulatory scope to operating capability, explicit exit gates, eight parallel workstreams and the feedback loops real implementations depend on.
- [How to Prepare Suppliers for Digital Product Passports](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-prepare-suppliers-for-digital-product-passports.md): A vendor neutral model for supplier readiness in a Digital Product Passport programme: eight stages from supplier scope and segmentation through requirements, capability, exchange, validation, remediation and continuous monitoring, with proportional control rather than one process for every supplier.
- [How to Validate Digital Product Passport Data](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-validate-digital-product-passport-data.md): A vendor neutral control model for Digital Product Passport data validation: four governed states from submitted to publishable, an explicit exception and remediation route, thirteen validation control classes, a validation rule catalogue, governed severity, and the difference between validation, verification, acceptance and publication control.
- [How to Manage Evidence for Digital Product Passports](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-manage-evidence-for-digital-product-passports.md): A vendor neutral evidence governance model for Digital Product Passports: nine evidence lifecycle stages, a distinct evidence state model, claim to evidence relationships, provenance, validity and supersession, access control, an evidence register, and the architectural separation between evidence repositories and passport publication.
- [How to Test and Assure a Digital Product Passport](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-test-and-assure-a-digital-product-passport.md): A vendor neutral end to end testing and assurance model for Digital Product Passports: eight assurance domains, a seven step assurance cycle, three governed readiness decision states, an assurance decision record, requirements traceability, failure path testing and proportional reassurance.
- [How to Operate a Digital Product Passport Programme](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-operate-a-digital-product-passport-programme.md): A vendor neutral operating model for Digital Product Passports after go-live: eight operating capabilities, seven operational event types, an eight step operational control cycle, cross-cutting governance, an operational event record and the project to operations transition.
- [How to Govern a Digital Product Passport Programme](https://tieback.io/docs/knowledge-base/implementation/how-to-govern-a-digital-product-passport-programme.md): A vendor neutral programme governance model for Digital Product Passports: five governance levels, seven decision domains, a governed decision cycle, decision rights, a decision rights matrix, escalation, risk and exception governance, scope control, organisational change and adoption.
