HCD.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhy it failsRepair
“The role requires these competencies”The role label hides case variants, conditions, and the exact holder.Derive claim-sized contributions from representative later Work for the named person.
“The course objective is the capability demand”A learning-product intention is not a later-Work result.Start with later Work and let a future programme comparison answer the demand.
“The MethodDescription proves the Work”A description states an intended Method; it does not establish enactment, result, or observation.Preserve its use as a question frame and recover the missing occurrence or qualified representative evidence.
“The tool score is the person’s capability”The score may describe joint or model-dependent performance.State support conditions and recover direct task evidence and inference limits.
“One missing record means no evidence exists”Direct observations may support the conclusion without a record, while an orphan record may support nothing about the occurrence.Name the evidence actually consumed and require a record only for a record-dependent use.
“The average employee is the holder”Aggregation erases person, condition, and evidence identity.Keep individual accounts or an explicit distribution; use E.23.CDI before treating a population whole as holder.
“HCD.2 must come next”Numbering is mistaken for a lifecycle and invites premature programme design.Route independently to HCD.3 or HCD.4 when their qualified inputs exist; programme comparison needs its own qualified basis and decision.
“Poor outcome means training”Method, tool, assignment, access, organization, nonhuman capability, or specialist causes may dominate.Return those values to their owners and use HCD.3 only when a diagnostic question remains.
