| Indicators | Level 2 attributes |
There is a multitude of ways in which a support infrastructure can be constituted and it would be misleading to suggest that one set of indicators and attributes represent good practice in P3 support. More than any other, this capability should be seen as a starting point for the development of a capability that matches the way support is constituted in any given organisation. |

Support of governance | Resources are available to assist in the development of management plans and maintain lessons learned. | |
Technical support | Technical specialists in different P3 management functions are available to provide advice and guidance. | |
Assurance | Resources are available to conduct assurance reviews and audits. | |
