It seems to me we can refer to the PMBOK but we will have to paraphrase<br>
various concepts to capture the sense of it. It is the logic that matters.<br>
That would also be necessary for copyright reasons. I guess we may need to<br>
use some PMBOK definitions - can we do that or do we need to paraphrase?<br>

Looks promising to me. Do you think the rest of the PMBOK would resonate<br>
with the communities we're familiar with? Bob probably has a view on this.<br>

introduction to process groups says:<br>

dependencies and are typically performed in each project and highly interact<br>
with one another. These 5 process groups are independent of application<br>
areas or industry focus. Individual process groups and individual processes<br>
are often iterated prior to completing the project and can have interactions<br>
within a process group and among process groups. The nature of these<br>
interactions varies from project to project and may or may not be performed<br>
in a particular order."<br>

fit very well as an overarching activity to make sure the appropriate<br>
"Additional Information" is captured.<br>

expanding each of those cells.<br>
