| A Guideline usually focuses on how to perform a particular Task or grouping of Tasks (for example, grouped together as |
| activities) or provides additional detail, rules, and recommendations on Work Products and their properties. Guidelines |
| can include details about a variety of topics including: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Practices and different approaches for doing work, |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| How to handle particular kinds of Content Elements, |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Information on different subtypes and variants of Content Elements and how they evolve throughout a lifecycle, |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Discussions on skills the performing Roles should acquire, |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Measurements of progress and maturity, etc. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Work products typically have associated guidelines which present information on how to develop, evaluate and use the |
| Work Products . Guidelines contain much of the substance of a method and provide assistance in a number of contexts: |
| they help you decide what to do, they help doing it, they help assess the quality of the work, and they help understand |
| how a particular Work Product relates to the rest of the process. |
