Each
practice relates to only one goal. There are two types of practices:
1. Specific practices (SP): practices that relate to specific goals
2. Generic practices (GP): practices associated with the generic goals for
institutionalization
For example, in the Project Planning PA, one of the specific practices is to write
a Project Plan. Another is to estimate the number of people needed and to derive a
schedule. Subpractices and examples are provided to help explain the practices in
more detail.
Relationship between Goals and Practices
Every PA has several goals that must be satisfied. Because goals are at a high level,
each goal has practices associated with it. Practices are specific tasks that should be
performed within the PA to achieve the goal. There are both generic and specific
goals. There are both generic and specific practices.
