Project documentation retention
Clare
 
I did a retention schedule for research records under the JISC programme in 2003 that included a schedule for records of research projects. It was created within the UEA context, but the underlying approach is generic. Its still accessible via the JISC website:

Subject: Project documentation retention

Has anyone tried to do a generic schedule for projects documentation?  I've drafted one using the TNA recommendations (10 year retention for essential material), but the feeling here is that such a retention period is a tad excessive (other than for major building projects, of course).

It may not be possible to even have a generic schedule, but given that practically every business unit here runs projects, I thought I'd give it a go.
