One of the projects I am working for has decided to use Cognos for its reporting purposes off a data mart. I need to define a solid functional document structure that will be part of a bigger document and will encompass all the required data, inputs, outputs, dependencies etc.
I have made a start with the below
1 COGNOS SPECIFICATION
1.1 HIGH LEVEL DESIGN
1.1.1 Scope
1.1.2 Functional definition
1.2 USE CASES
1.2.1 Called by Use case
1.2.2 Called Use case
1.3 CONDITIONS AND DEPENDENCIES
1.3.1 Triggers
1.3.2 Preconditions
1.3.3 Post conditions
1.3.4 Dependencies
1.4 DATA MODEL
1.4.1 Data model diagram
1.5 DATA FLOW
1.5.1 Data flow diagram
1.5.2 Data flow details
1.6 DATA REQUIREMENTS
1.6.1 Data retention
1.6.2 Supporting data
1.7 REPORT DEFINITIONS
1.7.1 Report 1
1.7.2 Report 2
1.8 REPORTS
1.8.1 Report 1
1.8.2 Report 2
1.9 AUDIT REQUIREMENTS
1.9.1 Audit trail
1.10 ASSUMPTIONS
1.11 TRAINING
1.12 OUTSTANDING ISSUES
Any ideas / suggestions on things I may have missed ?
