Subdivision Relationship

Understanding Subdivision Relationship

This relationship follows directly from how the notation is constructed: dividing any phase * of the 4-part cycle produces *.1, *.2, and *.3, and dividing any division *.* of the 12-part cycle produces *.*.1, *.*.2, and *.*.3, so activities sharing a common parent in a less granular cycle naturally share properties. The chapter’s concrete case is 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and 1.1.3, all of which contribute to creating a purchasing contract, the shared function of division 1.1.
