Purpose of Document
A work package is the control document for an individual or group to undertake a piece of work. It contains information such as product descriptions, constraints, work-plan and sign-of and reporting arrangements. It cannot be undertaken until the project manager or programme manager (as appropriate) has specifically authorised it.
The [Project] defines three distinct types of use for the work package document:
to control the delivery of work associated to pre-project activities such as the production of a feasibility report, or undertaking proof-of-concept (POC) work;
to control the delivery of work within a defined stage of a project;
to control a self contained ‘small piece of work’.
[The Work Package must be negotiated to ensure that:
- all risks have been identified and understood;
- that the Product Description is accurate and relevant;
- that the team or individual understands the requirement and has the resources and capability to do the work;
- that the team or individual is committed to delivery.]
