The fundamental principle is that before a Work Package is allocated to a team, there should be agreement between the Project Manager and the Team Manager as to what is to be delivered, the reporting requirements, what constraints apply, any procedures to be applied, and whether the requirements of the Work Package are reasonable and can be achieved.
PRINCE2 recommends the following actions:
✔ Review the work package
✔ Produce a team plan to show the products that can be completed within the given constraints.
✔ Undertake a review of the risks against the team plan, and advise the project manager of any additional or modified risks.
✔ Consult with project assurance as to whether any extra reviewers are required and ensure the quality register is updated accordingly.
✔ Agree to deliver the work package.
