ME.1:1 - Problem Frame

Project teams encounter Methods through handbooks, standards, stage models, issue trackers, training, job titles, toolchains, and remembered practice. These can reveal useful Methods, but their visible boundaries rarely coincide with Method identity.

A project schedule can describe intended Work, a process account a reusable Method, and a case account the condition or acceptance of a named result. These descriptions can reveal connected Method questions without sharing a subject. When several accounts actually concern one admitted Work, preserve that identity across them. Recover the claim and subject before selecting a viewpoint; changing a representation creates neither another Work nor a Method.
