Below are some options for representing the Status Assessment.
No Documentation
It is more important to perform the assessment and to communicate it, than to document it. Communication may be
done directly, rather than through some form of documentation.
Different Documentation Formats
Consider documenting the assessment if there are interested stakeholders that did not participate in the assessment, or
to keep track of the results for future assessments or project post-mortem.
Meeting Minutes
One way to record the assessment is to do it through the minutes of the assessment meeting, that can be eventually
merged with the iteration assessment meeting. This will ensure that important information are recorded and can be
communicated to the different interested parties, without extra-work as the minutes can be captured during the meeting
Email
One common medium to record and communicate the status assessment is to use email. The email should include the main
information about the assessment, such as:
-
Which was the iteration
-
What was the result of the assessment
-
Major risks
-
Major issues
-
Action items
