The stretch

How far beyond current capability the assignment reaches.

The part

What it is

Too little stretch and it is ordinary work; too much and it is a setup. Naming the distance is what makes that a judgement rather than an accident.

It also sets the level of support that is required, which is the other half of the same decision.

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.

Stretch level
Comfortable, stretching or beyond — stated so support can be matched to it.
Choice shared type
Confidence
How confident the manager is that this is achievable with the support offered.
