State All-Russian Standard Documentation: Curse or Salvation

Let's talk about using the State All-Russian Standard (GOST) in project documentation. There is an opinion that GOST documentation is complicated, tedious, "a lot of letters", nobody needs it, etc. But... Let's focus on the positive aspects of GOST application in IT projects and discuss the following aspects:

• GOST 19 and 34 series
• Specifics of GOST projects ("one-time", technical requirements, acceptance, deadlines, etc.)
• Specifics of GOST documentation (structure, style of presentation, etc.)
• Compliance with deadlines - the most important priority
• Formalisation
