4. Take the template for a CM plan that was used in lecture 5b:
  • discuss very briefly the purpose of a CM plan
  • discuss if, how and where the pieces you wrote for the metaphors will fit into the CM plan
  • discuss whether this CM plan is complete - or contains too much
  • discuss for each point in the plan who will read, use and maintain it
  • write half a page of text about the results of your discussions:
      - an evaluation of the proposed CM plan and/or
      - your proposal for the list of contents of a CM plan
      - a piece of text for an item in this - or your - CM plan
The results of today's exercises should be typed in and given to Lars or Ulf at the lecture on Monday 9/12.

Note! Contents (topics) will be one of the inputs used to guide the discussions during the examination. However, the quality of the contents will not influence the marks - the marks will be decided based on the quality of the discussions.
