 |
| <li>
 |
| Depending on the "newness" and/or complexity of the intended practice framework, you may decide to do some simple
 |
| sketching (<a class="elementLinkWithType"

| &nbsp;&nbsp;
 |

 |
| <li>
 |
| Once you feel comfortable with the scope, general "shape" and technical feasibility&nbsp;of what you are building,
 |
| it is time to capture the practice&nbsp;framework more formally, including the structuring of the framework core(<a
 |

 |
| Once the practice framework architecture is established, you can turn your attention to detailing the core method

| elements (<a class="elementLinkWithType"

 |
| As you develop the practice framework architecture, it is a good idea to periodically publish the framework&nbsp;(<a
