A.15.5:1 - Problem Frame

Teams often say that work is “ready”, “full-kitted”, “committed”, “green”, “released”, or “good to start.” Those words can point to different FPF values: an intended WorkPlan, a PlanItem baseline, a performed preparation activity, a gate decision, a source-currentness relation, resource availability, or resulting performed work.

A.15.5 gives the readiness question and its local result one place without importing a management framework object as an FPF kind. Readiness is pre-work-entry unless a recheck after launch or post-launch variance claim is explicitly current. A readiness claim may cite preparation or checking Work, but it is neither that Work nor the target performed Work.
