    used to create the work product, where the work product is kept or what tool is used to manage it. This can be
    accomplished by embedding a work product addendum to the development case, such as in spreadsheet format.

    addendum to this document.</font></em>

            between the roles in the process and the job positions in the organization. Mapping job positions to roles
