The assignment
The piece of real work given, with its scope and duration.
The part
What it is
It has to matter. Work invented for development purposes is recognised as such and develops very little.
Scope is what makes it a development assignment rather than a task — enough autonomy that judgement is required.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
Assignment
The actual work, described so that a reader can tell whether it was consequential.
