Phase I (Sep 92 - Jun 93): Design

'Standards

Without a development team leader for much of the time, the project relied heavily on individual motivation and peer pressure to make sure standards were followed. To an extent this worked in that screens look consistent despite being written by several people, but there are significant areas where standards were not followed:

- The Development Plan and System Test Plan, both major documents, do not conform to GIS standards. ...

- There was nobody to enforce and extend the team's standards when needed.

... The team did recognise the need for standards and wrote their own where needed, with QA agreement. They also used GIS specification standards as a basis for specifying reports.'
