MKT.14:4.2 - Choose the breadth and degree of shared work
Choose two related things: the breadth of the useful result within an organisation and the justified common work across organisations. A long joint change can contain several linked results; a limited programme can resolve one decision. Either may use reusable preparation where its grounds apply.
| Way of working | When it can be useful | What must be constructed |
|---|---|---|
| Broad individual programme | Several related opportunities require a continuing joint change and coordinated investment. | Their common purpose, dependencies, separate results and sequence of supported commitments. |
| Limited individual programme | One organisation or department needs a particular result under distinctive conditions. | The sufficient inquiry, contribution, participants and continuation for that result. |
| Shared work for a justified group | Named organisations have sufficiently similar work, useful contribution and application conditions. | A transferable common basis, local adaptation rules, separate promises and exception handling. |
| Repeatable work with a wider named population | Reliable organisation and opportunity information can support prepared choices and receiving work at the intended volume. | The information, action variants, selection conditions, performers and maintenance needed for repeated execution. |
These are alternatives to compare, not mandatory stages. Wider repeatable work may include several groups and individual exceptions; it need not be fully automated. Broad individual work can finish with a small remaining problem that needs only a limited programme. A shared group can dissolve when its common basis no longer holds.
Test the proposed commonality against the actual result. Similar sector or company size may help locate candidates but is insufficient when one needs batch-file analysis and another needs unavailable continuous integration. Ask which preparation transfers, what must change locally, and whether those changes still make sharing worthwhile. Preserve evidence from each consequential difference; information about one client does not automatically apply to the others.
