What's Included

The PSDP Templates include all of the templates used within PSDP to document and manage your software development project. The following is a list of the files included broken down by phase:

Phase 1 - Inception

Inception Phase Worksheet

For use with initial consultation to help guide the conversation. Use this template to start capturing the parameters and features of the software development project. Most of the information collected here will be moved to the project proposal, requirements specification, and possibly even the agreement.

Project Proposal-T&M

For use as a Time & Material based project proposal.

Project Proposal-Fixed

For use as a Fixed-Bid based project proposal.

Phase 2 - Requirements

Requirements Specification

Use this to document the general and detailed requirements of the software. Copy project parameters and general requirements from the project proposal and update and expand as appropriate. Focus on the detailed requirements.

Requirements Specification Release Note

Whenever you send a deliverable to the customer, you should include a release note. The release notes in PSDP educate and guide the customer.

Phase 3 - General Design

General Design Proposal

The general design proposal contains updated project parameters, the general design, and pros and cons. Create one general design proposal per general design explored.
