20. Challenges • Lack of versioning and tracking in the document repository technology used • Realization that a more structured meeting methodology will better serve the development process • Meeting individual task responsibilities according to project deadlines • Lack of skilled resources in some of the necessary fields (i.e. development)

21. Lessons Learned GDD requires: • Well thought out documentation and collaborative tools • Well defined process for Knowledge Transfer • Right resources to execute the development of the application • Excellent project management skills to oversee the project to completion
