 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A Discipline is a categorization of work (i.e. Tasks for Method Content), based upon similarity of concerns and cooperation of work effort.
 * A discipline is a collection of Tasks that are related to a major 'area of concern' within the overall project. The grouping of Tasks into disciplines is mainly an aid to understanding the project from a 'traditional' waterfall perspective. However, typically, for example, it is more common to perform certain requirements activities in close coordination with analysis and design activities. Separating these activities into separate disciplines makes the activities easier to comprehend.
