For what parties the prepare documentation

The question looks like what documentation we prepare and for whom. Well, some from the list are BRD, FRD, ARD, SRS, User Manual, Project Report, Dissertations, etc. And out of these BRD, FRD, ARD, SRS, User Manual and technical feasibility documentation are being prepared by the professionals for their clients, project managers, program managers, software developers. board of directors etc., and rest are prepared by the Academic Scholars for their academic requirements. Details are in explanation. However, note that professionals can be software developer, project manager, program manager, board of directors, technical writers, testers etc. And here we are dealing with basically software development.

Explanation:

Various abbreviations used above stands for like:

BRD: Business Requirement documentation

FRD: Functional Requirement documentation

ARD: Audit report documentation

SRS: Software requirement Specification

User Manual: as it is

Project report: as it is

TFD: Technical feasibility documentation.

And since this is a question in computers and technology, I have used the documents related to software development, and Academic work related to CS/IT.
