Defining the work · The change record · Element

The approval

Who agreed to it.

What it is

Including agreeing to the time cost, since agreeing to a change without agreeing to its consequence is not agreement.

Small changes need a fast route or they bypass the process entirely, which is where drift comes from.

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.
