2.3.2T Sample Directory Structure

(2.3.2T.P1)

At a high level, the document repository should be comprised of three main areas - Project Deliverables, Project Management Deliverables and Reference. A fourth area can also be defined for the Work Area.

  • Project Deliverables: Directory for storing all project-related deliverables. This is further broken down into subfolders to provide more guidance on where specific documents should be stored

  • Project Management Deliverables: Directory for storing all project management-related deliverables. This is further broken down into subfolders to provide more guidance on where specific documents should be stored

  • Reference: Directory for any documents that add value and are used as input to the project, such as architecture definition, client organization charts, training material, graphics, etc. This directory is for documents that are used as input to your project. Deliverables that are created by the project do not go here

  • Work Area (optional): Directory for each team member to use to create work products

Below is an example of how the logical design could be laid out using a simple directory structure.
