Representing Task

["Barker, Sean (UK)" <Sean.Barker@baesystems.com>]

Following conversations with Leif, I am proposing to develop the following template:

Representing_task_simple

The template is a cut down version of the Representing_task capability. It will be limited to the usage phase of the support solution, that is, it will not support the development of a task description. It will do the following:

Instantiate Task_method and its identifier, name and description
Instantiate Task_method_version with the task method version identifier and classified as "Task_status_in_use"
Optionally characterise a Task_method_version by assigning a Product_concept or Product_version in the role of "Product_in_focus", however I do not intend to make the link conditional on effectivity
Instantiate a single Task_element and a single description attribute in the role of "Task_element_task_description"
Optionally allow the Task_element to be characterized by a document or partial document (which could be the maintenance manual) in the role "Documented_task_description"

I do not propose to include in the template the following functionality discussed in the representing_task capability:
- Task Objectives - to be a separate template
- Task lifecycle and lifecycle approval
- Task lifecycle relationships, including version progression
- Task justification
- meta information, such as owner, security classification or copyright notice
- task properties such as cost and time taken
- advisory task (such as safety instructions
- resource allocation, including parts to be fitted
- supporting documentation

Note, this also excludes any functionality that would have been covered by any of the other proposed capabilities, such as the ability to identify environmental constraints.

Note this is a simple, one step task. There is a proposal for a template for representing_task_sequence. It is not possible to do this as a template, nor would it make sense to modify the syntax of templates to make it possible.

Comments for 13:30 UK time, please (Leif wants the template today)
