Articles Project and Process Management Using Rational® SoDA© to generate large documents in the Microsoft® Word environment
|
from The Rational Edge: Demonstrating compliance with industry and legal guidelines often requires software development teams to document their efforts at various points in the project lifecycle. This paper demonstrates how to divide complex documents into more manageable pieces using IBM Rational SoDA in concert with the Microsoft Word concept of master and affiliated documents.
Compliance is a topic of increasing relevance in the IT industry, whether it's compliance with International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Rational Unified Process®, or RUP®, the V-Model, Department of Defense (DoD) standards, or government mandates such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). One way that IT development teams frequently demonstrate compliance is by delivering documents that show that the development effort has been conducted in accordance with the relevant development standard. Usually, this imposes a need to generate documentation across workflows, phases, and iterations in the adopted development process. Moreover, documentation may also be required as a formal deliverable in a larger project. Finally, globally distributed teams have an increased need for generating reports and documentation to support the increased communication needs in a distributed environment.
