A Practice or Business Practice is a named and defined way to organize processes, technology, assets and/or people. OpenReference practices allow practitioners to describe a commonly understood way to organizes these processes, technology, assets and people.

A Standard Practice is the commonly accepted way to organize the processes, technology, assets and people; the entry level way with standard performance.

A Best Practice is a practice that is expected to generate better outcomes than a standard practice. Reconfiguring a process from Standard Practice to Best Practice will improve the performance of one or more metrics.
