9.2 Basics about Product Templates

9.2.3 How to get Product Templates

There are in principle two possibilities to use product templates.

Delivered Product Templates

The individual Word files are provided together with the V-Modell (i. e. on the V-Modell CD or on the V-Modell website »www.V-Modell-xt.de ). Those are product templates that were not tailored to a concrete project, but contain the contents of the V-Modell completely. Thus in each product template for the project manual the topic »Safety and Security - Organization and Directives is included, regardless whether the »Process Module »Safety and Security was selected in the concrete project or not. In this case the product template has to be adapted to the concrete project by deleting the appropriate chapter.

Self-Generated Product Templates

Moreover, with the V-Modell there is also a tool available for the preparation of one's own project- or organization-specific product templates. It is thus possible to include in the product templates for example one's own project logos, organization-specific formattings or file storage information. Furthermore it is possible to adapt the product templates in accordance with the project-specific »Tailoring.
