    guid=&quot;_nrrn4GqHEdun45RPFGeYnA&quot;>Unified Method Framework (UMF)&lt;/a>,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../core.default.uma_concept.base/guidances/concepts/practice_F5C8EAAB.html&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_qhCTAFRREd2CWscN8Mx6rg&quot;>Practice&lt;/a>s are defined in Practice plug-ins.&amp;nbsp;For general information on Practice&#xD;
    plug-ins, see&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/concepts/practice_lib_plugin_types_3EA8002F.html&quot;&#xD;

&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    All practices have a Base plug-in that contains:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The definitions of the practice-specific method elements (method content elements&amp;nbsp;and processes). Of special&#xD;
        importance is the definition of tasks and their associated guidance, as well as the assembly of the practice tasks&#xD;
        into practice-specific processes.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The assignment of concrete work products to &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/concepts/work_product_slot_D5B44CE7.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_Er1OcJIfEdybeduord13cg&quot;>Work Product Slot&lt;/a>s. For more information, see &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.extend_umf/guidances/guidelines/work_product_slots_in_the_umf_16BDFDCD.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_eWJtwPRaEdy6Y8ced-PvYw&quot;>Guideline: Work Product Slots in the UMF&lt;/a>.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The assignment of practice-specific tool mentors (if there are any) to the appropriate Tool (all other assignments&#xD;
        to standard categories are defined in an Assign plug-in, as described below).&amp;nbsp;For more information, see &lt;a&#xD;
        class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.extend_umf/guidances/guidelines/tool_info_in_the_umf_1DC427D4.html&quot;&#xD;

    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    In addition, since the UMF&amp;nbsp;supports &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/concepts/delayed_assignment_24142865.html&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_rlrykJcbEd2sTqxclDgvog&quot;>Delayed Assignment&lt;/a>, if the practice contains elements that are delayed assigned&#xD;
    (e.g.,&amp;nbsp;roles, tasks and/or work products), then the practice also has an Assign plug-in that contains:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The assignment of practice-specific method elements to the appropriate domain, discipline and/or work product kind.&#xD;
        For more information, see &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.extend_umf/guidances/guidelines/std_cats_in_the_umf_ADADE30D.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_W44bEMeQEdyDDM3XyGAKxw&quot;>Guideline: Standard Categories in the UMF&lt;/a>.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The assignment of practice-specific tasks and work products to the appropriate role.&amp;nbsp;For more information see&#xD;
