Tips for Further Work
How can I work with stdSEM?

You can use stdSEM in a number of ways:

  • As a reference work for finding important descriptions.
  • As online support when conducting individual activities (checklists, tips, tool support).
  • For rapid downloading of document templates.
  • As a training document for SEM courses and private browsing.

How can I switch from SEM V 3.0 to the new SEM?

  • The most simple scenario of course is when you begin a new project and do not need to take account of existing documents. You can then simply begin the Initiation phase and conduct the project as set out in stdSEM.
  • If you want to or are obliged to use existing documents, it is advisable first to compare the document templates of stdSEM and the structure of your existing documents and then to switch over in stages (copying and adapting individual sections).
    Important: The SEM V 3.0 and stdSEM documents do not have exactly the same content (SEM V 3.0, for example, did not contain separate plans for configuration management and reuse; this naturally affects the content of the project plan and QA plan).
