Concept: Concept

A Concept outlines key ideas or basic principles underlying a topic central to the method. Concepts normally address more general topics than Guidelines and span across several Work Products, Tasks, or activities.

In the context of Software Engineering, key Concepts such as risk, performance testing, and so on, are introduced at different levels in the process, and attached to the most appropriate Content Element. Some concepts are best associated to a Discipline because they describe multiple Work Products and Tasks within this Discipline.
