Description 1 - the structure of the PAD

Translate

A PAD in work consists of three parts - a head, a body and a tail.

The head consists of two sections - Background and Brief. Background lists the reasons for writing the document, in essence a problem formulation. Brief describes in short the conclusion.

The body consists of the Verbose section (and perhaps some Comments). Verbose is the long description of the solution that the group has developed. Comments may consist of paragraphs that didn't quite fit within the descriptions in the Verbose part. In Comments you may also include some notes on how the result was obtained, but this is optional.

The tail contains a history of the document's creation. Even so, it is not to be neglected as it can very useful to the group and is also important to the PAD organiser. Please maintain it properly - see example. Please remove the tail and submit it to the PAD organiser for reference when complete.

Please follow the structure of this PAD when making your own PADs as it will then be easier for others to read, and much easier to process.
