How to Project Workflow

The Project Workflow which is made available through the tool is capable of covering all the most relevant phases a Project is used to cross.

You are allowed to select among many Documents and decide if with/without cover, if you want to create them or not and so forth, allowing more features through the menu strip the Form menu strip (click right button while on the form to activate it).
All documents are created within a directory structured in this way: .\Deliverables\Client Name\Project Name.
The word "Deliverable" is used as a synonym of Project Document.

Sections are specified as:

Software – to detail Vendors, Architectures and Operative Systems.
Database – to identify Packages, specify elementary Data and adjust/enrich a CRUD matrix.

Network – to name those Places/Sites where the applications/users might be located together with the Frequency of usage of such applications.
