 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The delayed assignment&nbsp;of roles, domains, work product kinds and disciplines is implemented is through the use of
 |
| Assign plug-ins.&nbsp;An Assign plug-in is defined for every Base plug-in that contains work products or tasks.&nbsp;
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Assign plug-ins contain:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Role assignments: 
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| A role for every role to be assigned responsibility for a work product.&nbsp; Each role is defined as a
 |
| contributor to an existing role and adds the necessary "role responsible for work product"
 |
| associations.&nbsp;
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| A task for every task to be assigned a performing or a supporting role.&nbsp; Each task is defined as a
 |
| contributor to an existing task and adds the necessary "task is is performed by role" associations.&nbsp;
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Standard category assignments:
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none">
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| A discipline for every discipline that is to have tasks&nbsp;mapped to it.&nbsp; Each discipline is defined
 |
| as a contributor to an existing discipline and adds the necessary "discipline includes task"
 |
| associations.&nbsp;
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| A domain for every domain that is to have work products mapped to it.&nbsp; Each domain is defined as a
 |
| contributor to an existing domain and adds the necessary "domain includes work product" associations.
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Practice-specific role, role set and standard category definitions.&nbsp;Practice-specific definitions for delayed
 |
| elements are defined in the Assign plug-in to make them easy to change.
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
