 |
| A practice framework&nbsp;contains a number of different types of elements, each of which can be <em>created</em> or
 |
| <em>customized</em>.&nbsp; Thus, when authoring within a practice framework, it is important to clearly identify your
 |
| intended result and follow a well-defined path for getting there.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| You can use the&nbsp;following questions to help you determine exactly what needs to be done to what element in the
 |
| framework:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Do you want to add a new role, tasks, or work product?
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none">
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Do those elements reflect a new technique or approach for working?
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li style="LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none">
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| If so, you need to create a new practice that includes the new elements, as well as
 |
| any&nbsp;practice-specific processes that assembles those elements.&nbsp;For more information, see
 |
