      "Finished"? It's never finished. Go back to the first part you wrote and see whether or not you can write it better. Also, keep your head down and look busy.

      We just implemented features. without any design. You means we refactoring the code. Which document should we write? any template or example will be helpful for us. Thanks.

        :) drinking beer in the club.. and meet with someone cool... then... arr.. that's secret part. hehe.. We used to do one project for six-month or a year.. If we finished our project, we made the party in Office or somewhere... then, we took leave for 4 or 5 days and went for vacation.... the most of vacation that we went were sponsored by our company. so, it was really fun... when we came back, the new project was ready to start and the bug lists and changes of the project that we've finihed were waiting for us. :)

          You should write down something special that you have done in your project... For example, Let's say your customer was asking "A". but you don't wanna do or you don't know how to do or whatever reason... you left "A" and you did "B" but looks like "A". So,you should note about this .. because if you need to modify something in your code, you won't know why you did like that... :)

            After the project finished -> means coding and test were completed. What do you do if no task assign to you? Write coding document? or Write refactoring ? or others... -------------------------------------------------------------------- We are drawing flow diagram for important event, like button click...

              I hand the documentation over to my code monkeys maintenance team and go looking for another project that I'd find interesting. In between the new project and the closed one I'd do a postmortem and figure out what I did poorly and where I was "the man".

                That sounds good, but we don't have any vacation after projects finished. I am really really envious of you and your company.;P -- modified at 1:12 Wednesday 22nd August, 2007

                              Figure out how you can sell it to someone else (without upsetting the first client).

                                  Just take a break ie., leave for one week and enjoy as much as you want? And return to office for the next project.

                                        There is probably some value in what you did that may be as a minimum packaged for reuse in your later work, but it never hurts to try to see if you have something that could be sold to others. What part of the job was hardest, could you create something that would make the job easier? This may help you in future work, or it may start you on the path of developing a product. Developing products is one way to decouple your income from working hours. If you get it right you make money while you sleep, if you get it wrong you work for next to nothing. Have a drink, take a break if you need it, and start work on developing your business.

                                          For us, we used to write the detailed comments in code. After that, we just generate the documentation by using nDoc or other documentation.. so... that such a thing we don't need to do after the project is done.
