Wikipedia has a page in its wiki for almost every imaginable topic including best practices. Wikipedia tells us about a best practice, but it does not (nor is ever planned to) provide specific steps (or "rules of thumb") involved to follow a best practice.
For instance, IBM's Best Practices lists recommendations for software development, which their products support, as (1) Develop iteratively (2) Manage requirements (3) Use components (4) Model visually (5) Verify quality and (6) Control changes. Beyond a few descriptive phrases, the page fails to detail much in particular about any of these recommended practices.
