Documentation at every step Sample Clauses

Documentation at every step. A related principle is the need for easy documentation for the end user. Nearly all researchers are required to submit grant proposals and protocols to Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), print questionnaires for review by peers and IRBs, generate data dictionaries for data analysts, create reports and dozens of other forms of documentation. Many of these reflect specific system requirements that can be detailed during requirements analysis, but the point of this principle is that at any moment unexpected forms of documentation of every aspect of the study may be required. As such, the project should design in such a way as to facilitate easy documentation of all components. This concept should extend to all coding as part of best practices for programing.
