OAS™ - On-a-Sheet

So Simple, So Saving

J&P BMCG has developed an own style used for specific documents we call On-a-Sheet. It's used for short descriptions, introductions, guides, crib-sheets, and also processes. Examples:

Business Plan OAS™	To make a business plan
CMM as Example	Capability Maturity Model, first created by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the 1980s.
Google Desktop OAS™	A free utility you’ll wonder how ever lived without! More info and tips also at swedeteam.com/google.
PhD Dissertation OAS™	Getting your dissertation in order
Project Management OAS™	Down to the essentials on project management
Screen Capturing	Mac OS X, MS Windows; on taken screen shots
Software Development Process	A broad overview of aspects and key terminology when developing software (e.g. shrink-wrapped or for the Web)
Travel Abroad OAS™	Crib-sheet, checklist for traveling abroad
UL and Electrical Safety	On different categories from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) - UL Listed, UL Recognized, UL Classified
Web Publishing OAS™	How to create contents and put onto web site
Why AC Sucks	Why alternating current (AC) is inferior to direct current (DC) (losses, cooling, complexity, reliability)

For legal reasons - intellectual properties rights, and ownership of material developed by J&P together with various partners over decades - actual documents and content therein are as a rule only distributed directly by J&P and partners, as applicable. I.e. not downloadable from this location.

About the Logo and Note on the Pronunciation

'Oas' is the Swedish word for oasis and consider an oasis: so simple (trees and water) and yet such a life saver! Can you imagine a better logo for OAS™?

Listen to the sound file for correct pronunciation (it's not 'oh-ace' but a short 'o', Swedish-pronunciation, followed by 'aas' - 'o-aas'). (Sound example require MP4 decoder, e.g. Apple's QuickTime.)

How-To

It simple - keep it to one sheet! That's it.

One sheet - two pages maximum.
Aim for one page but if need for two, focus main info on first page. Makes better posting.
- For longer descriptive texts, second page can be used for e.g. check list, references
Always print double-sided, and consider this when making document.

Ok, for the ones thinking Why Do I Need a Process?

The method is easy to implement and is applicable in any area where a more organized process is advantageous. And in all honesty, in which area doesn’t a formal process help...? For the yet doubtful, we can come up with many good reasons but in the spirit of OAS™ - which is The Essentials:

Catch the important stuff, focus on the right things and not wasting time on less important details.
Tie information and knowledge to the company, avoid dangerous dependencies on unique individuals. What happens if the employee suddenly isn't around any more...?
