Home / The register
40 practices, 120 evidence items
The transition register
One testable practice per row. Each states the practice in our words, labels its basis, and names the evidence, the common gap and the questions to ask. The FDIS body is not public; the register does not pretend to be a clause-by-clause reading of the draft.
01How to read it
One row, one testable practice
The register has six groups: scope, business management, project management, system definition and realisation, acquisition management, and transition. Every practice belongs to one group, carries a basis label, and about three evidence items. The basis label is the honest part: public-record means the ISO abstract states it, series-structure means the process area is named in the abstract and the practice is our reading of how a VSE works it, and our-reading means the practice is ours and is not attributed to the text.
- Ref is our practice number. It is stable across editions and is not an ISO clause.
- Basis is where the practice comes from, so you can check it.
- Evidence is the number of artefacts an assessor asks for, not a score.
02The processes
The four processes and the two frames

The business the projects serve, the capacity across them and the process assets.
SR · 9 practicesSystem Definition and Realisation
From the acquirer's needs to a delivered, verified system.
AC · 5 practicesAcquisition Management
Decide to acquire, select a supplier, agree the technical content, accept and close.
TR · 6 practicesTransition and evidence
Move from the 2019 Technical Report to the Intermediate profile and keep the file assessable.

Every practice has an owner in the evidence index, a dated artefact and a recorded answer to the questions. The owner is a named person, not a committee.
The table is server rendered. The same rows drive the practice pages, the kit, the API and the free check, so a change to one row changes every output.
