* A key application for Development Processes expressed with Breakdown structures is to generate a project plan from it. A process as defined in UMA (cf. with Sections XX and 5.2) is a multi-dimensional structure defining what work is being performed at what time by which roles using which input and producing what outputs. A project plan as it is represented in project planning tools such as IBM Rational Portfolio Manager or Microsoft Project normally does not need all this information and is normally limited to just representing a subset. For example, a typical MS Project plan only represents the work breakdown consisting of Tasks and Activities (sometimes referred to as summary tasks). It does not show the input and output Work Products for a Task, but it can show which roles shall be staffed for performing the Task. However, such role allocation need to be replaced with concrete resources when instantiating the plan for a concrete project. Sometimes project plans can then again be organized differently by organizing work by deliverables in which Work Products are mapped to the plan's summary tasks and Task that have these work products as output mapped below such as summary task. Therefore, a process can make recommendations about which elements to include and which to exclude when generating a plan. When the isPlanned attribute is set to False for an instance of a Breakdown Element, then this element shall not be not included when a concrete project plan is being generated from the breakdown structure that contains this element.

* Prefix represents an additional label that will be presented as a prefix to any Breakdown Element to indicate a user-defined sub-type for the element. For example, if the process engineer would like to distinguish his Activities by 'Module' (as done in the IBM Rational Summit Ascendant Method), he can define a different prefix for every model to be used in addition to naming Activities, e.g. "SRA.Establish Requirements" with SRA indicating that this Activity belongs to the "Software Requirements Analysis" module. Another common application for prefix is to qualify roles in Role Descriptors. For example, "Customer.Architect" would define a "Customer" prefix for the Role Descriptor "Architect" expressing that this is an architect on the customer side and not the development team side.
