The team used GIS standards and also developed their own (with the agreement of Quality Assurance) where the new environment in which they were operating required it (00427, 00625). Adherence to standards was mainly through peer pressure and this was generally effective in ensuring external consistency of the system (00427, 00896). There were differences in internal development style particularly in phase I (01046) but this was due to the newness of the tool making overall internal standards difficult to develop. This was one of the reasons why technical documentation in phase I was deferred (with Quality Assurance agreement) (00430). Unfortunately this seems to have resulted in a lack of emphasis on technical documentation for which the team continued to be criticised (01063, 01090). In phase III a much more extensive set of standards were developed in conjunction with the introduction of a case tool (00961, 00874).
