I would like add further with my earlier post on the submitted documentation template

I am currently working with a CRM where I have integrated the project management system. By using the system you will be able to

Create a project. You will be able to create the project tasks and follow up and monitor the project activities.

I would be glad to share the system with you once the CRM project is on rolling. The only thing that you may do is to create the Gannt chart for the project.

You will also be able to write the meeting agenda with the system. This system will give you reminder and project managers can easily follow up with the project activities.

Hi All

Comments regarding the submitted documents

Group 1
----------

Only the guideline for the documentation standard has been provided. It would be great if if we have any sample technical documentation sample based on the recommended standard by group 1

Group 2
----------

This is my self criticism there are lots of thing can be added with the feasibility document. But I tried to keep the minimum I might have might have missed something obvious.

Group 3
----------

This is my self criticism. In the requirement analysis phase we might need to conduct customer interview. I have not recommended any standard document to capture such. I would recommend everyone to create a sample discussion form to capture customer interview.

Group 4
--------
Documents of group 4 seems to fine with me. We might skip some documents based on the project size.

Group 5
----------
This group has included lots of diagram which seems to be fine. Because I feel it depends of the project type what types of diagram to be used in the documentation for detail design. It is not recommended to use all the diagram but they have kept the provision.

Group 6
----------
I find the user manual bit complicated. Some basis information such as Installation guideline and how to use the system is missing form the documents. It become more or less administrative manual. Sorry folks. The heading that you have presented earlier in the workshop was better.

Group 7
---------

Work of group 7 seems to very intense. But being too practical it would be too hard to maintain all the test documents for the development team. I would recommend you suggest 1-2 documents to complete the test works. I feel it would be good if we could really complete all the forms.


I have already mentioned to make the documentation system workable we need to conduct training session for each of the documentation type and train the project managers and System Analyst to prepare the documentation for the development teams and programmers will be responsible for using and fill in the documentation. e.g. test scripts and test case should be generate by team leaders and test date and result should be filled up by the programmers.

Thanks

Hi Everyone

The methodology followed workshop is really a treat to attend.

Regarding the initiative of enabling the documentation standard through out the organization  require high level of commitment from the management by allocating enough time for documentation and also responsibility of the project manages and System Analysts to create the documents for the projects and role of the programmer is to understand and use the documentation and create their own where applicable.

I hope this initiative will be a successful one.
