Interesting. Like someone said earlier, naming conventions need to work for your company and it looks like all these examples do.
RIght now I'm in the process of rewording our procedure that deals with documents to match our new practices. I feel that these things need to be done in a certain order to come out successful on the other side. And this
is gold, totally agree. I'm going to start manually going through all the documents and changing the old document references that did exist to the new corresponding document name.
Maybe this post needs some more structure:
1.Create spreadsheet to track old document, name and "code" and how it correlates to new name and "code"
2. Revise "Procedure" that deals with documentation to reflect new practices (in process)
3. Decide whether revisions will continue or start over (should probably add this to the document PR with a statement "from this day..."
4. Physically change documents with new names, formatting, etc.
5. Backup all original docs (Actually that was the first thing I did, everything I'm working with is a copy)
6. Upload new everything to our system
Sound about right? Am I missing anything or would you guys do it differently? As for the rest of management, they should be fine with the cheatsheet from step 1 so I won't have to hear, "Where's this document?" 50 times a day...
