When you practice project, many documents are made by team members. It is made for an individual or output of process. Process requires many documents that have influence on work. But the problem is all of documents not need to project. Also traceability among documents is one of important points.
There are documents for report and It is not used after report. There haven’t traceability among documents; in this case the documents aren’t used because contents are different each other. You have to make just necessary document. Also you have always to consider traceability among documents to increase accuracy of requirements. The documents are saved in the public repository for easy of share. Team member have to notice changed facts to know the facts. If you make documents without a purpose, the documents can’t give any advantage. As a result documents just become waste. Traceability is one of important points. For example, test case and design are made from requirements. It is based on code. When requirements are changed, you have to reflect changed facts in the requirements specification. Next test case, design and code must be changed base on requirements through process. If you don’t that way, you can’t understand specification because content of documents is different each other. As a result the documents aren’t worth.
