| | Best practice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Best practices are disseminated through academic studies, popular business management books and through "comparison of notes" between corporations. | | | An example include XML Best Practices, which is a set of guidelines for how to best set up and use XML documents. | | | Then, one can compare job performance to these best practices and determine if either the job performance was lacking in quality somehow, or if the specification for best practices needs updating to include the job performance being graded. |
