For some reason IT is fighting back hard on providing templates for documents and communication. We're being tasked to make sure all the information is in said body, and I just don't get what's the downside to a template, or at least a checklist. If "past examples" are such great guidance, why not strip the variables out of one such Platonic ideal so that it's easier for us to tell what "all the information" is?
The first shop I worked in that took PM and SDLC seriously had three basic definitions of projects, and each type of project required different documents at each gate (and if you didn't intend to create a document, you needed a project exec to sign off on that call), and each document had a template. It was really easy to skim and make sure at a cursory level you're even ready to sit down and inspect, or find out who you need to send back to the kitchen. If you have to read all of everything to know that, some omissions are going to be discovered later, natch.

Breaking: key vote Kennedy VERY uncomfortable striking down #prop8. Suggests dismissing case. Would leave in place 9th Cir pro-#ssm ruling.
pro-same-sex-marriage ruling (i.e.--the current lower court opinion is that Prop 8 should be struck down)
So, if SCOTUS dismissed the case, the lower-court opinion (that strikes down Prop. 8) would stand? Or would it have to be re-tried in a lower court?
The 9th Cir opinion would stand.

I think. But just in California, right? Or a few other states?

There are not 5 votes to strike down #prop8 and recognize equal right to #ssm at this time

But they can still dismiss it? So the pro-ssm 9th Circuit opinion would stand?
If the Supremes dismiss the case (on the grounds the proponents of prop 8 do not have standing to bring the case to the Supremes), the 9th Circuit case striking down prop 8 would stand
