Pre-Project Initiation Stages - Execution

Fig 3.13 Controlling a Stage

The trigger for the “Controlling a Stage” process comes always from the Project Board Activity “Authorize a Stage or Exception Plan.”

Each Controlling a Stage process ends by triggering the process “Managing a Stage Boundary,” expect for the last stage, which most of the time is directly followed by the Closing a Project process.

Next, I will describe the relationship between Controlling a Stage and Managing Product Delivery, and the activity Authorize a Stage or Exception Plan.

12. Cs: Controlling a Stage / Managing Product Delivery

1. Assign Work to Teams using Work Packages

The Project Manager allocates Work Packages to the Team Leaders. A Work Package contains information on one or more products to be developed, which includes such information as product descriptions, planning data, and constraints. This becomes the agreement between the Project Manager and the Team Leader.
