Work Package Template

Purpose The purpose of the work package is to ensure that all the necessary information about one or more deliverables or pieces of work is collated in order to allow the formal delegation of responsibility for the work from the project manager to a member of the project team. However, on a small project or if the piece of delegated work is small, in the interest of scalability, it might not be necessary to formally delegate the work through a work package. The package needs to be written in a way to avoid any ambiguity and provides all the information necessary to complete the work package. The work package should be viewed as a contract between the practice manager and the person leading the work package.
