Need for explicit rationale for placement of each item in required, Level 2,
or best practice


 


When we are finished, we should create a second doc.  This document should
be called "using the guidelines" or "notes from the team developing the
guidelines" or something such.  This document should lay out the rationale
for why each item was placed in the category it was.  This can greatly
assist people trying to interpret the guidelines and also individuals who
may be using the guidelines in any policy.  If they understand why things
were placed in the category they were, then they may not inadvertently
require something which should not be required or leave something out which
indeed is very important.  It may also help them to not re-word things that
have been very carefully worded and thus change the meaning or leave
something important out.
