Professional development/Project management/Word Submission Guide

You have been asked to submit all your work in a single word document as a 'living document'. You must activate track changes in the document so that anyone reading it can see what has been modified since the last submission.

There are many reasons for this:

1. Reduce your workload.
   1. No need to format a whole new document every time.
   2. No need to rewrite a new introduction and conclusion every time.
   3. No need to paste content from other reports (specifications, concepts, etc), just refer to a previous section.
2. Allow you to 'connect the dots' easier between the different steps of the process.
3. Allow TA and PM to see who has contributed to the document.

Here is a video on Word markup which explains how to track changes in the document.

Document setup

1. Upload the Word report template to your OneDrive (one member per team).
2. Share the document with your teammates and your TA and PM.
3. Optional: Sync the document to your computer so you can work on the desktop version of Word (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/sync-files-with-onedrive-in-windows-615391c4-2bd3-4aae-a42a-858262e42a49).

Process for submitting a deliverable

1. Make sure 'track changes' is enabled in the document.
2. Start editing the document and add all the info for the report you are working on.
3. When the report (small section of the document) is complete, download the entire document in Word format (if you are working in a browser) and submit it in Brightspace.
4. Accept all changes in the document so that when you submit the next section, the document will only show the 'new' information as changed.
5. Start working on the next report.

Your TA/PM may give you feedback in different ways either in your shared Word document, or in the original document uploaded back to the Brightspace submission, or as comments in the submission. Check in with them if you are not receiving any feedback.
