A long time ago, in a job far far away (well, Bristol actually) I was introduced to the idea of a 'tersm of Reference'. This was one side of A4 which neatly explained a project, role, piece of work etc.
The headings used were Background, Objectives, Scope, Constraints, Assumptions, Reporting, Deliverables, hence 'BOSCARD'
I would like to know where this particular formulation comes from, whether it is an accepted standard, and if there are guidelines for the content of each section. Are there alternative ways of creating a 'terms of reference' document?
A search for the terms Background, Objectives, Scope etc, did return a number of pages which seemed to use this arrangement, but none which explained its origins or described the content of each part.
