Purpose of Document
- A set of information about one or more required
products collated by the Project Manager to formally
pass responsibility for work or delivery to a Team
Manager or team member.
- This product will vary in content, and indeed in
degree of formality, depending on circumstances.
Where the work is being conducted by a team working
directly under the Project Manager, the Work Package
may be a verbal instruction, although there are good
reasons for putting it in writing, such as avoidance
of misunderstanding and providing a link to
performance assessment. Where the work is being
carried out by a Supplier under a contract and the
Project Manager is part of the Customer
organisation, there is a need for a formal written
instruction in line with standards laid down in that
contract.
- Although the content may vary greatly according
to the relationship between the Project Manager and
the recipient of the Work Package, it should cover:
- Contents:
- Date
- Team Or Person Authorised
- Work Package Description
- Product Description(S)
- Techniques/Processes/Procedures To Be Used
- Interfaces To Be Satisfied By The Work
- Interfaces To Be Maintained During The Work
- Quality Checking Method To Be Used
- Stage Plan Extract
- Joint Agreements On Effort, Cost, Start And
End Dates
- Sign-Off Requirements
- Work Return Arrangements
- How Completion Is To Be Advised
- Any Constraints To Be Observed
- Independent Quality Checking Arrangements
