General Board / Specification reviewed by Customer
« on: February 10, 2015, 02:12:26 am »
I have my solution specifications defined completely in enterprise architect (mainly business process, domain model and use cases diagrams). Now I need to have my customer approving them.
The customer is not an IT experts and my first solution was to export in docx and submit to the customer.
Unfortunately this solution has a few drawbacks:
- every time the documentation is generated it rebuilds entirely the documents, this means that every time you generate you need to read it all (400 pages) to be sure that your latest changes did not impact the full document
- once the customer submit his comments it is not always easy to find exactly where the modification applies from the EA model
- after modification applied and we submit again the document, which needs to be regenerated, the customer struggles to find again the points where he had his comments (needs a side by side word which works but not very user friendly)
Does anybody had similar situation and can suggest efficient solution for customer (mainly business expert, not IT experts) to review and approve specification define in Enterprise Architect?
Thanks in advance
