Is it possible to just write the documentation
subplan and send it to your project manager?
Get a copy of the master plan and make sure
your subplan rolls up nicely into it. Or send
a copy of the full master plan with the doc
tasks included. Your PM must might be grateful
that somebody took the initiative to write it up.
Frankly, I'd much rather write it myself than
spend a month trying to convince a bunch of PHBs
of the value of documentation (yes, I have done it
both ways).
I say:
Good point. Now that you mention it, I think we started adding
documentation to the project plan because I did just that.
