The [PDS](http://info.perforce.com/PDS.html).

When getting started with Perforce or expanding its scope within an enterprise, it’s a good time to establish a formal, documented Perforce Directory Standard (PDS).

    Product life cycle
    Release process 
    Branching strategy

In addition to their intrinsic value, a PDS is handy to have in the event of a Configuration Management audit. 

The PDS stands on its own, and can be incorporated into a large document hierarchy. It’s best deployed as a living document that evolves as your organization’s needs change.
