* <!-- begin-model-doc -->
* A Practice represents a proven way or strategy of doing work to achieve a goal that has a positive impact on work product or process quality. Practices are defined orthogonal to methods and processes. They could summarize aspects that impact many different parts of a method or specific processes. Examples for practices would be "Manage Risks", "Continuously verify quality", "Architecture-centric and component-based development", etc.
