SLIM-Suite files (.sew, .smp, and .smw) that directly support SLIM-Collaborate should be labeled appropriately and stored in a special location, with restricted access. If this practice is followed, you will be confident that the project files selected to supply configuration set data and other parameters are the most recent versions. Updates to life cycle methodologies, sizing techniques, trends should be made using the desktop applications and then tagged for import into SLIM-Collaborate.
