Need some genuine advice from people who have worked in CSV or regulated pharma projects.
I've been working as a Computer System Validation (CSV) Analyst for the last 4 years. For the last 6 months, I've also been handling manual testing in my project.
A senior (14 years experience) joined our team. Initially he was brought in mainly for automation, so I gave him KT on the manual testing activities, project flow and documents. That was completely fine.
Now the automation work is no longer happening, so he's been moved to manual testing full-time. The problem is, now he's asking me to teach him CSV and validation concepts as well, and my managers are also asking me to give that KT.
I'm a bit confused about this.
The validation knowledge I have didn't come from formal KT. Nobody sat with me and explained all this. I spent 4 years reading validation documents, understanding regulations, handling deviations and escalations, and learning things the hard way while working on projects.
I don't mind explaining our project, documents, process or how we do things. But teaching years of validation knowledge feels different from normal KT.
Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way, so I wanted to ask people who have more experience.
If you've worked in CSV or pharma:
Is this a normal expectation?
Would you share everything, or is there a boundary between project KT and domain expertise?
How would you handle this professionally?
Just looking for honest opinions from experienced people.
