As such, a work package can be thought of as a sub-project, which, when combined with other work package units, form the completed project. Breaking down the work into work packages allows multiple teams to work simultaneously or sequentially on different components of the project. Each team follows the steps defined in the work package plan and completes them by the specified deadline. When all teams have finished their individual work packages, the whole project comes together and the objectives have been achieved.  \nDepending on the kind of tasks, a distinction can be made between content work packages, which focus on the tasks that will lead to the project outcomes, and horizontal work packages, that are concerned with the management of the project.  \nKey elements of a content work package  \nAs a work package can be considered as a sub-project, the key elements ofa work package resemble those of a project. They include the following:  \nWork package objectives  \nEach work package aims to achieve one or more of the project objectives. The description of the work package should start with the statement of those project objective(s) which the work package aims to achieve. As for the project in general, the work package objectives define the methods, actions, and evaluation of the work package outputs and deliverables.  \nDescription of activities  \nTo achieve the work package objectives, a series of activities need to be undertaken by the project team. The work package plan should describe these activities in a comprehensive, logically structured and clear way. Specifically, attention should be paid to:  \n-the link between the objectives, methods and activities, and outputs and/or deliverables of the work package  \n-the link with the objectives, methods and activities, and outputs and/or deliverables for the project in general.  \nTimetable with milestones  \nAll activities to be undertaken in the work package must be presented in a realistic timetable, taking into account the fact that some activities must be completed before others may start. Inmost projects, months are used as the unit for the timing of the activities.  \nIn addition to the earliest start date and latest completion date of the work package, the timetable should also define clear milestones. A milestone is a scheduled event signifying an important decision making moment or the completion of a deliverable. Milestones can be used  \nas project checkpoints to validate how the project is progressing, thus allowing a proper monitoring of the project implementation.  \nOutputs and deliverables  \nThe activities of the work package should result in specific outputs, which are the products, services, activities, or attributes resulting from the activities and linked to the objectives. The work package plan should clearly state which outputs are foreseen.  \nCertain work package outputs may take the form of deliverables. A deliverable is a physical output related to a specific objective of the project, e.g. a report, publication, newsletter, tool, website, or conference. A distinction can be made between external deliverables, which are created for customers and stakeholders, and internal deliverables, which are produced for the purpose of executing the project, and are usually only needed by the project team and the commissioning authority. Both types need to be specified and listed in the work package plan.  \nRoles and responsibilities  \nIn multi-partner projects, work packages are usually divided between the organisations which collaborate in the project. Although different organisations can contribute to a work package, it is important that one organisation is in charge. The work package plan should make clear which or","cbCainHuig45wWSt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainHuig45wWSt","pdf",634642,"English","# What is a work package?\n## Key elements of a content work package\n### Work package objectives\n### Description of activities\n### Timetable with milestones\n### Outputs and deliverables\n### Roles and responsibilities\n### Relationship to other work packages\n# Further reading","[{\"question\":\"What is a work package in project management?\",\"answer\":\"A work package is a building block of the work breakdown structure that defines the steps needed for completion.
