An Outcome describes intangible Work Products that are a result or state, such as an installed server or optimized
network. As the occurrence of an Outcome is often informally documented (for example, through minutes or memos),
Outcomes may also be used to describe Work Products that are not formally defined. A key differentiator for
Outcomes against Artifacts is that Outcomes are not candidates for harvesting as reusable assets. Outcomes can
not have associated templates or examples and are not possible to reuse as assets on other projects.
