The COSIR™ Framework
The COSIR™ Framework defines a Definition of Work (DoW): one unit of work described through five elements — Context, Objective, Suggestions, Instructions and Resources — together with the rules that make a COSIR DoW valid and the principle that divides authority between the author, who owns the outcome and its limits, and the executor, who owns the approach. Version 1.0 is the first published version. COSIR is revised in numbered versions as practice informs it. COSIR™ is a trademark of DevHelpers LLC.
