Challenges

• Lack of versioning and tracking in the document repository technology used

• Realization that a more structured meeting methodology will better serve the development process

• Meeting individual task responsibilities according to project deadlines

• Lack of skilled resources in some of the necessary fields (i.e. development)

Lessons Learned

GDD requires:• Well thought out documentation and

collaborative tools• Well defined process for Knowledge Transfer• Right resources to execute the development

of the application• Excellent project management skills to

oversee the project to completion
