Client Brief
A Client Brief document outlines the process of gathering information from a client by the development team to respond to a request by making recommendations about how to solve a problem.
Configuration Management Plan
The Configuration Management (CM) Plan outlines the policies and methods to be used during the life cycle for the project, and may be updated and improved as necessary as work proceeds. Effective CM procedures can contribute to project success by identifying and controlling parts (files) and components, and reporting their legal status.
This Configuration Management Plan is adapted from MILSTD-498 Distribution Statement A; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
Development Activity Log
The Development Activity Log provides a way for project managers and team members to keep records of the amount of time spent working on a project and to assign that time to specific projects and activities. The Development Activity Log provides valuable information for any type of cost effectiveness evaluation which might be conducted by the client or the development team.
Project Estimate Work Sheet
This Project Estimation Worksheet will provide you with some guidance for calculating the temporal, financial, and personnel resources required for an interactive multimedia design project.

Georgia, USA, for which Impart has been granted a licence for "non-exclusive use and ability to modify and use those materials".
Evaluation Matrix
Although by all appearances, the "Evaluation Matrix" is a very simple tool, it has a powerful purpose. It helps you to consider a wider range of data collection methods than you might otherwise consider in relation to each of the questions addressed by your evaluation. Evaluators sometimes get into the habit of using one or other data collection method, eg, an end-of-training questionnaire, without considering the advantages of alternative methods. This tool prompts you to consider each evaluation question and to decide which of the many data collection options have the greatest potential for providing the desired information.

Feasibility Study
The Feasibility Study identifies and documents the information creation and/or management needs of an organisation for specified interactive multimedia applications (eg training, job-aids, marketing). The study should also contain costed strategies that can be followed to implement interactive multimedia products and systems within a specific organisation to meet the identified client requirements.
Multimedia Quality Plan
This plan documents the procedures and techniques that are designed to ensure the production of a quality product, and outlines the roles and responsibilities of the team members relevant to these procedures. This template is designed to ensure that the activities of the multimedia project in relation to quality control, assurance and management are consistent with the requirements of ISO 9001:1994, Quality systems Ð Model for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation and servicing.
Project Diary
Interactive multimedia design projects of any size or scope are usually very complex, and therefore demand the coordination of many different types of people working together. Record keeping is an essential task of the project manager. It is a sound strategy to maintain a "Project Diary" throughout a multimedia design effort. This document outlines the major components of a "Project Diary," and provides a rationale for the inclusion of the various sections.

Request for Proposal
The Request for Proposal is prepared by the potential acquirer of a multimedia system. A clear and easily understood RFP, based on this template, will make the task of monitoring and controlling the acquisition and development of the multimedia system far simpler.

Scope Statement
This document outlines the roles and responsibilities of the project, for example, the functions, features and project deliverables. The document should also list all exclusions, some of which may be included at a later stage, once an impact assessment of such changes has been made.
Verification and Validation Plan
The Verification and Validation Plan documents what the minimum V&V tasks are to be for the multimedia project, and how these tasks are to be carried out.. The plan describes the review techniques to be used in each phase; details the procedures for each review; and prescribes corrective action to be taken regarding any problems found at the review. The level of formal verification and validation depends on the criticality of the multimedia system being developed.
This Verification and Validation Plan conforms to ANSI/IEEE Standard 1012-1986, Software Verification and Validation Plans.
