Example of task group in discipline view |
Here the user has opened the disciplines accordion and browsed to a task group below requirements management. The group consists of two tasks, which can be seen both in the menu tree and in the Roles and Responsibility table in the description element. The Roles and Responsibility table is generated based on the RACI relations (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) between the role and the task. If you are not familiar with the RACI concept, please look at the description here. |

Each step consists of a role responsible for performing the step, an one-line action statement, a block of text further describing what to do, and possible references back to standards and models (not shown). Furthermore, tasks relates to roles (responsibilities), artifacts (inputs/outputs), and guidance elements can be attached to the task description elements e.g. templates, checklists or examples. |
