| When sketching a <a class="elementLink"
 |
| href="./../../../core.default.uma_concept.base/guidances/concepts/practice_F5C8EAAB.html"
 |
| guid="_qhCTAFRREd2CWscN8Mx6rg">Practice</a>, you should first name and briefly describe the practice.&nbsp; Then
 |
| identify the practice's relationship with other practice and with other method framework elements.&nbsp; Specifically,
 |
| identify what <a class="elementLink"

| href="./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/concepts/work_product_slot_D5B44CE7.html"
 |
| guid="_Er1OcJIfEdybeduord13cg">Work Product Slot</a>s will provide the inputs to the practices what the practice will
 |
| produce in terms of work products and what work product slots those work products will fill.&nbsp; In addition you may
 |
| want to identify any known guidance that will be shared.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Once you have an understanding of&nbsp;how the practice fits into the method framework, you can turn your attention to
 |
| what the practice should contain (<a class="elementLink"
 |
| href="./../../../core.default.uma_concept.base/guidances/termdefinitions/method_content_6972AE81.html"
 |
| guid="_Ts2joB_MEdq6CKKKq4D7YA">method content</a>&nbsp;and/or <a class="elementLink"

| href="./../../../core.default.uma_concept.base/guidances/termdefinitions/process_68E308B4.html"
 |
| guid="_yQ5m2NnmEdmO6L4XMImrsA">process</a>) and the relationships between these practice elements.&nbsp; If known, it
 |
| is also a good idea to identify where the content will come from so decisions can be made about the development of the
 |
| practice.
