RE: More light on Engineering Response Document

["Bob Colwell" <bob -dot- colwell -at- comcast -dot- net>]

At Intel, we also had a sign-off sheet up front, so that the engineers who
had to deliver what was in the ERD could formally endorse the plan. We also
had a change history log in the front, because the ERD is a living document
throughout the project. (At least, it should be. If it is not kept up to
date, the plan-of-record quickly reverts to some awful combination of what
the lead engineer intends and what the design engineers are actually doing;
one must never assume those two camps are synchronized.)

We had a competition section, where the engineering team states what they
think their envisioned product will be up against in the marketplace.

We had a risks section, where we stated what we thought the biggest risks to
the plan were, and what we intended to do about them.

There was also a scheduling section, with major milestones shown.

Subject: More light on Engineering Response Document

Hello writers,

Can anyone tell me more on the likely content of an Engineering Response
Document?

What i already know is that it has a feature matrix proposed in the PRD,
along with the response (+ve/-ve) of the engineering team and the reasons
thereof.

What else can it have? Can anyone who has worked on an ERD respond, or point
me to some references. Google didn't point to any good resources.

TIA,

Ankur
