Execute a PRINCE2 Work Package

 

As part of accepting a Work Package, the Team Manager needs to clarify what is to be delivered what are the constraints within which the work is to be done, agree the tolerances if applied, understand the reporting requirements and how the products are to be approved and handed over, and confirm how the project manager is to be informed when the work package has completed.

 

Optionally, the Team Manager may produce a Team Plan to confirm that the Work Package can be completed within the given constraints.  Depending on the commercial arrangements, the project manager may wish to review and improve the team plan, but if this is not appropriate, the team manager may merely pass on key milestones for the project manager so that progress can be tracked.  

 

Project assurance may wish to review the Team Plan, and should be consulted as to whether extra reviewers are required and ensure the Quality Register is updated as appropriate.

 

Any risks associated with the Work Package and Team Plan should be logged on the Risk Register.

 

When the Work Package is being executed, the team manager is responsible for ensuring that the work is conducted in accordance with the Work Package.  

 

The project manager should be notified of any new issues, risks, or lessons. As each product is created then the Configuration Item Records should be updated to reflect the current status.

 

The project manager should receive regular Checkpoint Reports in the manner and the frequency defined in the Work Package.

 

When the products in the Work Package have all been created, quality reviewed, and approved, then notification of its completion must be returned to the project manager.

 

The team manager will first want to review the Quality Register to check all products are complete and to review the approval records show that each product has been approved.  The Team Plan should be updated to show that the work is complete before notifying the project manager.
