Silverston, on p.186 states:
"A WORK REQUIREMENT and a WORK EFFORT are two different but related
entities. A work requirement represents the need to perform some type of
work. This could be a requirement stemming from a decision to
manufacture inventory items, deliver services, conduct a project or
repair an asset of the enterprise such as a piece of equipment or a
piece of software.
A work effort is the fulfillment of the work requirement"
As far as i can see, there doesn't so far seem to be much relating of
Requirement and WorkEffort two going on, particularly in the context of
*internal* requirements. Is this by accident or by design?
Consider the matter of sending emails:
Each email that's sent from the office is not in itself, i think, a work
effort but should be related to some other work effort. This work effort
in turn relates to some requirement. In practice, is it not the case
that every email should be recorded as a communication event?
What facilities are there to ensure that *incoming* mail is so related
where appropriate?
There must be others who have examined these issues and considered them
in light of best commercial practice and i'd be interested in commentary
on this.
