=======================
This system seems to be an attempt on the project owner's part to create
a manual version of what I use for the help files I author...SourceSafe.
It all seems a bit high maintenance to me...sometimes I feel as though I
spend more time following the system than doing the work. But after
much discussion and alternatives posed, it's what the boss wants...she
simply has a high comfort level with knowing everything is in one file
in one place with only one person touching it.
=======================
That is ok. I have a client who does not use PCs herself but has a staff
that does.
For her, all critical files (mostly Word and Excel documents) are stored
on a floppy in a three ring notebook. She simply has a high comfort
level knowing "where" a file is. If she can "touch it", she knows. If it
is "in the system", it is mysterious and she doesn't like it.
In addition, all critical information is printed for her and placed in a
binder. She does not access a computer. She wants it printed, where she
can put her hands on it. (And yes, she has paper copies of all critical
emails filed in the paper files.)
It works for her.
