| <h1 class="topictitle1">Method Content Package</h1> |
| <div><p>A Method package is a container for method elements. Elements are organized |
| in method packages to structure a large scale of method content and processes |
| as well as to define a mechanism for reuse. Method elements from one package |
| can reuse elements from other packages by defining a link between them. For |
| example, a work product defined in one package can be used as an input for |
| tasks defined in another package, ensuring that no redundant definitions of |
| the same elements are required. Also, maintenance of method content is greatly |
| improved as changes can be performed in only one place.</p> |
| <p></p> |
| <div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Structure of a Method Package</h4><p>Although a method |
| package is a container for method elements, its structure is broken down into |
| smaller packages to better organize the content, such as content packages, |
| standard categories, and custom categories.</p> |
