&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Work product slots to allow practices to be independent of each other.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Default navigation view that &lt;i>ad hoc&lt;/i> configurations of practices can be published easily with a view.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Guidance and work products&amp;nbsp;reusable across practices have been moved into common plug-ins.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Category, role, and tool definitions separated into separate plug-ins to allow them to be easily removed and&#xD;
        replaced&amp;nbsp;by alternative categorizations.&#xD;
