Work package意思
"Work package" is a term commonly used in project management, particularly in the context of PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) methodology, which is a project management framework used in the UK and internationally.
A work package is the smallest unit of work that can be assigned to a team or individual for a specific period of time. It is a defined piece of work that is part of a larger project and is typically assigned to a work package controller or a team manager.
The key characteristics of a work package include:
- It is a discrete piece of work that can be planned and managed independently.
- It has a clear objective or set of objectives that must be achieved.
- It has a defined start and finish point.
- It is assigned to a specific team or individual for delivery.
- It is part of a larger project and contributes to the overall project objectives.
Work packages are used to break down large projects into manageable chunks, making it easier to plan, monitor, and control the project. They also help to ensure that the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
In addition to PRINCE2, the concept of work packages is also used in other project management methodologies, such as the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) and Agile project management.
