“How” – indicate how the action will be performed, use terms like “based on”, “by using” or “working with”.
“Why” – indicate the reason the action is performed, and clarify what the goal is, how it will satisfy a need, who has the need and what it is.
Indicate the level of responsibility for the employee (sole, leadership, or supporting role)
