Comments

  • keep short
  • use active (doing) voice
  • should be able to be re-used easily by other Enterprises

Avoid including qualifying terms or adding specialism as this makes it increasingly difficult to re-use and therefore impossible to establish what set of systems, for example, realise this capability.
