Documentation Requirements == === 10.1 User Manual === The user manual will help the users of the software to understand better its functionality and have a full benefit from it. The manual will be detailed with all the things that the users need to know, such as what to do with the login page, what to do with the groups, assignments, user’s CV-s, events etc. According to the number of groups of users, the manual will be separated into as many parts as groups. Also there will be information about what the user has to do in an error event or some wrong input/display. All of the above will be explained graphically. === 10.2 On-line Help === If needed, an online instruction/help will be provided, along the user manual. The online help will be used in case of a system error or wrong input/function so that the user can apply the solution fast and successful. The online help will contain information about some unpredicted action that the users may conduct and solutions. === 10.3 Installation Guides, Configuration, Read Me File === The software does not require installation, configuration or Read Me File.

That way, all of the essential information can be found on one place, so that users could search for specific assignment/events. Critical-Adding new users - Adding new group of users - Adding new projects - Administrator’s approval Important-Assigning users to projects/events -Inserting/Editing user’s information Useful-User manual === 11.3 Effort === The user can list all the projects that he entered or participated in. He will be also able to search thought the projects using the keywords. If a project is rewritten the user should be able to add only the year to the existing data for the project. When a user applies for a new job/project the system should select only the projects that are necessary for the new job/project so that the employer can see the experience on the user. Avoidance from additional costs. === 11.4 Risk === The risk of the development/implementation of this software is the consistency of the data different users has access to, therefore misleading users that use the software. === 11.5 Stability === After detailed analysis of the system’s needs, we have come to conclusion that the basic features, such as adding new users, inserting new CV-s and new assignments are fully understand and our point of view for them will not change during development. If something is to be changed during development, we have decided that the change will be implemented only if all of the team members agree of the change and all of them have the full understanding of the change. After analyzing all of the features, the team members have decided if there is need for a feature change, it will have small impact on the development or none at all. Development priorities are: inserting new users, new CV-s and events. === 11.6 Target Release === === 11.7 Assigned To === === 11.8 Reason === Adding new users – This feature is needed because the users will use the system and its full capabilities, based on their authorization - Inserting new CV-s – This feature is needed because this is essential part of the system, explaining other user’s capabilities and experience, and also events and assignments they have worked on - Inserting new assignments and events – Explaining the assignments and the work done to complete the assignment that the users have done in the past or present - Inserting new companies – Searching for specific assignments and people with certain qualifications - Editing/Inserting Assignment’s details – Better understanding of the assignments by the users of the system - Inserting/Editing User’s details - Better understanding/updating user’s information - Inserting data has to be simultaneously with all users’ groups – Preventing errors and wrong displays to the users of the system - Adding new users – Enlarging the system and making it more efficient - Inserting new CV-s – After a new user is added, it is essential that a new CV is inserted, explain user’s experience - Inserting new assignments and events – Information about the current work for a new assignment/event
