The State of the Document

There are two types of project documents. The first type is used to settle and communicate decisions: your document begins in draft form, and through discussion and research, it evolves into its final form—it describes the decisions the team has made. The other type describes “what is so” on the project, and as the project progresses, these documents are updated to describe the current state of the project. Thus, documents are in one of three states:

Draft: The claims the document makes are tentative, hypothetical, incomplete, and under discussion by the team. They are not decisions.

Final: The claims the document makes have been committed to by the team and are not expected to change. The document asserts decisions.

Current (as of): The document is a living document to be modified periodically over the life of the project. Such a document should be labeled, “Current as of [date].” You can imagine printing it out, picking it up a month later, and being perfectly clear as to what it represents: the state of the project as of that date.
