Practice question · Match the pairs
Match each part of a proposal to what it settles.
- The proposition
- The material decision
- The context or site
- The stopping condition
- What the work is trying to find out
- Where it is encountered and by whom
- How the question is made physical
- What would count as finished, or as answered badly
Hints
- Each part answers a different question about the work.
- The one students omit is the last.
Show the answer
- The proposition → What the work is trying to find out
- The material decision → How the question is made physical
- The context or site → Where it is encountered and by whom
- The stopping condition → What would count as finished, or as answered badly
Why
The fourth is the one that turns production into work. Without a stopping condition a project either never ends or ends when time runs out, and neither is a judgement about whether the question was answered.
