Under Construction. To be updated to reflect new OLE Development Process.
The goal of the checklist, when complete, is to guide the overall specification process: from initial User Requirements with Spec teams full circle through testing, and any iterative gap analysis. SME Teams and the Project Team may utilize this to manage processes and workflows around spec-writing (optional tool for managing work and spec progress by SA/SME Team Systems Analyst).
