35+ Document life cycle models
36+ --------------------------
37+
38+ Each official document shall have the status: “VALID”.
39+
40+ Depending on the document type (report, checklist, plan, etc.) the document can
41+ either reach this state directly, or some prior states are required.
42+
43+ Thus different document life cycle models exists:
44+
45+ * Model1: "VALID"
46+ * Model2: "DRAFT" -> "VALID"
47+ * Model3: "DRAFT" -> "VALID" -> "VALID(INSPECTED)"
48+
49+ **The document types below require life cycle model 1: **
50+
51+ Report
52+
53+ Guidance:
54+
55+ The document has the state “VALID”, if the
56+ Author has successfully done a self verification for the three aspects of content,
57+ valid structure and formal aspects.
58+
59+ **The document types below require life cycle model 2: **
60+
61+ Compare :need: `gd_req__process_management_build_blocks `, except their are part of the
62+ life cycle model 3, thus the need inspection.
63+
64+ Guidance:
65+
66+ The document has the state “DRAFT”, if the
67+ Document is created, may have no mature structure, content or formal aspects considered.
68+ Author writes the document, creates content, creates a valid structure and considers
69+ formal aspects.
70+
71+ The document has the state “VALID”, if the
72+ Document is reviewed. In this state the reviewer has successfully checked the document
73+ for content, structure and formal aspects.
74+
75+ Due to updates, findings, other issues or change request, the document status may set
76+ back from "VALID" to "DRAFT". This triggers a new review cycle.
77+
78+ **The document types below require life cycle model 3: **
79+
80+ Compare :ref: `review_concept `.
81+
82+ Guidance:
83+
84+ In principle same as life cycle model 2, but an additional inspection step is required,
85+ as described here: :ref: `review_concept `.
