The transition

How the organisation gets from one process to the other.

The part

What it is

Transition is where redesigns fail. Work in progress under the old process, people trained on the old one, and systems configured for it all have to be handled.

A cutover date with no plan for in-flight work produces a period where neither process is running properly.

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.
