WBSO administration for software teams

After receiving a WBSO declaration, your company must maintain an administration that shows who worked on each approved project, when the work was performed and how the technical development progressed.

For software teams, useful evidence may already be available in systems such as Git, Jira, Azure DevOps or similar development tools. Relevant records may include:

  • Timesheets by employee, day and project
  • Commits and pull requests
  • Technical tickets
  • Architecture decisions
  • Test results and benchmarks
  • Error analyses
  • Documentation of unsuccessful approaches
  • Technical meeting notes and progress summaries

Exports from development tools are not always sufficient on their own. The records should collectively show the nature, content and progress of the approved R&D activities and should remain consistent with the original application.
