From Afterthought to the Development Team

摘要

Honda of America's adoption of a structured analysis and design (SA&D) methodology for software development has allowed the Technical Publications Group to improve project planning. Documentation is now integrated into the system development methodology, and writers receive deliverables such as design documents and approved project plans earlier in the development process. With the addition of a project management tool that provides a central repository of project data, the group now creates more accurate preliminary and detailed documentation project plans. Results include an increase in documentation delivered at system implementation, and improved allocation of resources.
