Re: Getting developers to document their efforts

One word: specification

Two types: functional and design

Three data types: planned, scheduled, and completed

Four benefits: developer has evidence of work done,
those who need info on what's new/changed now have it,
specs can be analyzed for future planning, and can be
used for knowledge transfer within development.
