- transfer responsibility for a package of work;
- execute the package of work;
- transfer ownership of the finished products.
| Indicators | Level 2 attributes |
This maturity should be developed and assessed according to the context in which it is being used. It may be appropriate to have multiple versions, for example:
|
| Description | The formal definition and allocation of work packages to teams, suppliers or individuals is recognised and documented. | |
| Accept work package | Recipients of delegated work formally acknowledge receipt of the work package scope and performance criteria. | |
| Perform work | The team or individuals performing the work are technically competent and provide regular progress updates. | |
| Deliver products | All products are formally handed over with accompanying documentation. | |
| Indicators | Level 3 attributes | |
| Description | A process for delegating work packages is centrally defined and tailored to suit the context. | |
| Accept work package | Recipients of delegated work are involved in refining the work package scope and performance criteria. | |
| Perform work | The team or individual performing the work use monitoring and reporting procedures that are consistent with those used to consolidate progress information at the higher level. There are regular updates from the higher level covering any external influences on the performance of the work. | |
| Deliver products | Product handover is consistent for all work packages across the project or programme. | |
